This is why i recommend 1280 x 720 for you as whilst windows might not look so sharp i think you cannot tell when watching TV whether your TV is operating at 1360 x 768 or 1280 x 720.Ultimately play around with it and see what suits you best, for me the 50hz requirement beats the need for native resolution when watching TV every time.
