You're quite welcome.

If you're asking about my television, I might be able to change settings.
Part of the reason I chose a lower resolution was because I was running a
slower card at the time.  I have a GTX 260 in there now.  With my
television, I haven't noticed a difference in clarity between 1920x1080 and
1280x720.  It's an HDTV but it's not a flatscreen; I want to say it's like
an old CRT monitor.  I can't lift it safely by myself.  Certainly I could
tell on a newer television, but there isn't as much clarity with this one.
They say it's harder to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p/i on the
smaller sets.  I'm biding my time until I get a new television.

Your television is a different story.  It's a trial and error thing to get
the settings where you want them.  I'm not sure if you can do that
resolution or not.  I don't think that was one of my choices for my TV, but
you will probably have different results.

My current setup is the result of searching on Google and following guides
along the way.  I'm certainly no expert.  I bet you'll find a solution you
can live with.

Best of luck.  The weekend is right around the corner. :)
