I have a Samsung 720p plasma with a native resolution of 1024x768, which is a non-square pixel format (4x3 resolution on 16x9 display).
Running Windows at 1024x768 looks nice and sharp, but the aspect is off. Running at 720p (1280x720) makes the aspect ratio correct, but the output (especially text) quite blurry.
What I want is to be able run Windows at 1366x768, but scale this output so the TV gets a 1024x768 resolution. Is this possible?
I would also consider running a Debian based Linux distro, but the Catalyst drivers have the same options so I don't know if that would help.

I have also bolded my question, as it seems to be overlooked.
Well, have you tried the driver setting yet? – user1306322 – 2013-12-18T00:00:13.530
@user1306322, of course. – Sarke – 2013-12-18T00:26:52.800
1Are you absolutely sure the TV doesn't have a normal 1:1 output option? Does the screen have non-square pixels or is it the software thing of the TV? How about different signal input method? SCART, RCA, HDMI, whatever? – user1306322 – 2013-12-18T00:59:11.293
@user1306322, the TV does have a 4:3 option that solves the aspect ratio, but then I end up with huge grey bars on either side and wasting screen space. I'm using HDMI. – Sarke – 2013-12-18T01:12:07.583
1If the TV will accept analog VGA input, I'd try doing that while running Windows at 1366x768. – martineau – 2013-12-18T03:26:55.073
1366x768 is not supported by the TV. – Sarke – 2013-12-18T18:51:51.357
