It can't do 1080p but it can do 1366x768p which is it's native
display. I would highly recommend you try and get a working 768p
output. This will avoid the panel having to deinterlace and scale. By
switching to the native (lower) resolution you will get the added
benefits of less memory consumption and better performance too.

Regards.
