Is there a way i can force my 1080p capable TV to use a higher resolution than 1366x768?
It can apparently go higher than that but only if it is widescreen (1600x1200 failed)
How can i force 1920x1080? because it doesnt show up on the screen resolution page under control panel.
Yes, but my computer monitor does not
Modern Monitors and TV's report their capabilities to a PC or other device to help prevent damage to the monitor or tv that can be caused by running at improper settings. Forcing higher resolutions is not recommended.
I think you pretty much solved your own issue, But, if you must, try this
Force DVI/HDMI resolutions and refresh rates[2]=Appearance Personalize
If your TV is 1080P, then it supports 1920x1080.
On some HDTV's if you use the VGA port then it maxes out a 1366x768, so best to use an HDMI cable.
Does your laptop have an HDMI port on it?
no, but is there mabye a USB to HDMI cable?
Do you have an S-Video output on your laptop that could go to an S-Video input on your TV similar to this?
i dont have that. all i have is a VGA, a few USB, and an eSATA
After reviewing the basic system spec's for your laptop, I see there are several models with HDMI ports, can you provide the full model number, for example, Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5992?
Of course, you could use the Docking Station.
