OR alternatively download a program called powerstrip.

EDIT: With custom resolutions, alot of games will allow you to select them from their own in game display settings.

If you're using the Custom Resolution tool in the driver you can only create resolutions that are evenly dividable by 8. Try 1368*768. You'll lose two pixels, but it's not something you'd notice. If you want exactly 1366*768, you'll need to use Powerstrip.

My 32" HDTV came this morning, and i bought it with the intention of using it as a monitor. I can safely say it looks amazing! Plugged it in with a HDMI to DVI gold plated cable, and it set the resolution automatically. Its set at 1280 x 720 with no overscan.
