    Hello,

    as you'll know, most netbooks are limited to a VGA out of 1400x1050 or even 1366x768.
    (then again they don't have the performance to do much more anyway)
    I have an Asus 1001P, which is limited to 1,366 x 768.
    I'd like to watch movies on a small external monitor, which is "HD-Ready" so 1280×720.
    This size is however not offered in the list of resolutions for the external monitor.

    Does anyone know a way to "force" this resolution?

    think they use an intel based graphics chip, but not too sure if intel gives the option to use a user defined resolution.

    well, no. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked.
    I 'd like to output the correct screen resolution because the screen is really-really bad at resizing :D

    Use powerstrip to create it as a custom resolution
