Why is a 720P television pissed off if I try to run 1280x720?

[MrMaxwell]

It says resolution mismatch and it's all upset, then, if I set it to "normal" or "unscaled" it has bars on the sides .... It has to be because I only have DVI out adapted to VGA, right? So if I go dig out a fkn video card with HDMI will it be better?
It looks the best at 1366x768 right now
The picture looks good but not as good as 720p should

I have an old Panasonic Plasma TV that was sold as "720p" and "1080i", yet it also works well in 1080p, though somehow not quite as clear as 1080i. Anyway, I use it as a second monitor in a make-shift home studio. I connect my Mac laptop to it via the Thunderbolt - to - PCI Cable, not HDMI, and it works just fine.

Update to COAX V4.85. It's better than HDMI.

these cheap people can't even afford 1080p and you want them to upgrade to something better than hdmi?
