Hooking up laptop to 32inch LCD HDTV?

Hey guys,
I recently set up my laptop to be displayed on my 32 inch HDTV (LCD) and wanted to know if there were options to get a better resolution. I can only seem to get a resolution of 1366 x 768.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this, and could help me out. Maybe that is the max resolution I can get, but I would think with a 32 inch you should be able to get a lot more. I get more resolution on just the laptop screen then this.

I think this will have something to do whith what graphics card you have.

Yeah I dont think I have anything special, It's a laptop. Though the quality is great on just the laptop. And to be honest it's not bad at all on the tv although a better resolution would be wonderful. I read that it might depend on how big the resolution of the tv can go, and i'm looking for the manual right now.

Thanks

That will be the max resolution you can have, I imagine from that resolution that your tv is 720p / 1080i. TV's aren't designed to act as monitors, even though they can, so their max resolution is never up at the 1900 * 1200 regions. If you had a 1080p TV you would be able to get a slightly higher resolution.

I seem to remember from when i hooked my laptop up to my 32" samsung hdtv back home that the max res was about 1366 * 768, and I've got a high end laptop and graphics card, so that has no effect upon output resolution.

That's incorrect. 1080P IS 1920×1080

What resolution can your HDTV actually display? 1080i/P, 720P?

I was talking about 1080i, I know that 1080p is a higher resolution
