Uncontrolled switching of monitor resolution
Hello,
I'm sorry I'm putting this post here. I've been going round and round to find how to put up a new post. Couldn't find it. Frustrating.
But anyway, I have a Macbook and a Viewsonic 24" monitor. The resolution keeps changing between 1920x1080 and 1280x720 (I think). I can't control it. How do I keep it permanently in 1920x1080? thanks for any help.

Yes and it is still is with many of them, in fact with far more variants of left, right, up, down, vertical size horizontal size etc. - the computer monitor I mean.
You have only three choices - reduce the screen resolution to fit the screen in the television screen,
Buy a different television ie: same size as the monitor screen
Buy a different graphics card for the computer.
ONLY JOKING REALLY, but the answer is NO, either your graphics card will allow a resolution to fit the TV screen or it will not.
Is there a way of moving the image on the TV screen, there usually is.
Here are the full technical details

Have you checked that the computer has now accepted the TV/monitor as the installed monitor on Hardware - Device Manager.

I think the user has well and truly moved on from his post by now. your comments are also about a PC not a Mac notebook like posted.
