Sorry I can't explain any more, that problem about going off the screen at 1280x800 seems odd to me. Acadia is right though, you definitely want to try to use the monitor's native resolution whenever possible. That was the main reason why I bought a 1080 TV, 720s are much more common and less expensive, but if you use them as PC monitors, you only get 720 vertical pixels, which is smaller than what you get with 1024x768. I had a 720 TV before this one and I returned it because it was really no better than my old monitor.
