Same thing is happening right now with me on my 32" TV Specially bought for PC.The thing is your monitor Max resolution is 1366*768 that's HD ( 720P ) Monitor.If you want to play with 1080P.You must have FULL HD Monitor.

why does it let me display 1920x1080 on it then if its max resolution is 1366x768?

You can run dxdiag and provide us the info on the System and Display tabs if want to give us as much info as possible. You might also consider checking for updated drivers for your graphics card in the mean time. Lastly, how are you connecting your PC to your monitor (HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc)?
