Upgrading to Win 7 broke my screen resolution.

I use and LCD tv as my monitor, it has a native resolution of 1360 x 768. This worked fine in xp, but when I switched to 7, it no longer fits my screen. I did a bit of looking around and it seems to be a problem with nVidia drivers or somesuch, but the problem existed before I updated my drivers. Anyone experience something similar?
edit: Oh, I should mention that I have tried to make a working resolution with the custom resolution tool in the nVidia control panel, but no matter what I set my x value to it seems to automatically stretch my screen to remain too big. o_O

It's also an option if I go through the nvidia control panel...maybe I don't quite understand the problem you're having. Are you saying that if you try to select 1360x768 it then fails, or you don't have the option to select it at all?
Anyway, so to answer your question;
Yes, all the resolutions previously available are still there, they just don't display the same anymore.
I currently have 1360x768 selected and am missing a bit off either side of my screen. The vertical resolution fits perfectly, however.
My research (googlesearch) has revealed a very interesting fix.
If I go to resolution settings and then to the 'make text and objects larger' option, set it to medium, accept, then set it to normal, my resolution fixes itself. This only lasts a seemingly random time, but it works every time. It's...madness. o.O
