The monitor driver won't help. Resolution adjustments are enabled via
the video card adapter. An updated driver may be available from the
card or chip manufacturer's WEBsite. Or if applicable, perhaps
reinstall the driver that was supplied with the card.

Default How to change monitor driver?

But my monitor is a 32" LCD TV
I want to use powerstrip to change the resolution to 1366 * 768. And I am
using SIS onboard display, nothing updated driver that I can install.
Do you have other suggestion?

AFAIK monitor drivers are mostly just a file that tells the monitor tab in
the display settings what resolutions and frequencies the monitor supports.
Sometimes they come with a color profile that describes how this monitor
displays colors (which colors it can display and if there is a color shift -
color management).

You should be able to set the frequencies manually using e.g. powerstrip.
