I am almost certain that my monitor can display in 1280x720, but for some reason it isn't listed under the resolutions. Not even when I go to the List All Modes.

Is there a way I can force it to go to 720p and see if it works?

What video card or onboard video do you have,try updating the drivers,this usually solves these kind of problems.Also make sure your monitor supports the resolutions,the video drivers should fix this more then likely though.
EDIT:I see your running amd mobility graphics 3100 with win 7 64bit
try updating them with these drivers http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/10-7/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx

Thank you. While my drivers were up to date, the catalyst control center listed every possible resolution known to computer basically, and 720p was one of them, and it works on my screen.
