Resolution question with Samsung 720p TV

After finally getting my PC assembled and working, I decided that 1080p monitor I bought is just too small for my eyes with it at the back of my desk, so I have reverted back to my plan with using my 32" Samsung HDTV 720p as my monitor with this card, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161269.

My question is, is there any problem using 1920x1820 resolution for the PC with my 720p TV ? Or should I stick to the recommended 1280x720 by the PC?

When using a TV with a PC, you set the resolution on the video card to the resolution of the TV. If you use a higher resolution than the TV supports you will get cutoff of the image.

A 720p will not give you any higher resolution than 1366x768.

Thats what I seemed to notice. It was the highest I could go without noticing some distortion.
