Default XBOX 360 res higher than Monitor?

After getting my X360 hooked up HDM>VGA I set 1680x1050 which my monitor shows. Yet I saw a 1920x1080 option as well, thought I try it out. and It worked! It showing in 1920x1080 yet, my monitor when on PC can only display 1680x1050!

How is dat happening? I want 1920x1080 on my games! (computer)

Thanks

1680x1050 is downscaled 1080p, which is why it displays in 16:9. Basically, most xbox games are upscaled 720p, so getting that 1080p setting might just be an unnecessary pipe dream.

you need to select a little box that says " show resolutions not supported by monitor"

My monitor does 1080p but it wont tell my graphics card, your monitor does the same.

EDIT: the box says "hide modes this monitor cant display".

System: Well its a system I suppose
