I guess the simple solution would be to just go back to VGA if that was working.

You might have some luck trying to find some info on your specific display's issues at AVSforum

1360x768 is the correct resolution for your display. Make sure you remove any scaling options (fit to screen, etc) both on your TV and in your PC software. 3 pixels on either side shouldn't be all that noticable. It may be that your set has better implementation on the VGA channel like YoYo suggests, but it's worthwhile to try to get the digital channel up and running.

It does sound like a scaling issue. What video card? With nV drivers you can select the option of HDTV and just set the res to 720p. Don't know with ATI.
