When I connect my PCs video card Radeon HD7770 from DVI to HDMI TO MY 19'' LED Insiginia TV. I get black bars. When I change the resolution to 1440x900 the black bars are gone but the screen shakes. The TV is 60hz, is this why? Or is it because of DVI to HDMI cable? I have all of the drivers for my mobo and video card.
 
Match the output res on your PC to the native res of your TV

Its hard to say exactly but you're asking the right questions.. best thing to do would be to rule out anything. Hook up that PC to another monitor or TV.. or hook up another PC to the same Insignia TV. Verify the PC is using 60hz. Try a different HDMI cable or DVI-to-HDMI adapter.
 
I'm not 100% sure. I will get the model number later. When I go to Catalyst and Windows they have presets listed and I didn't see 1366x768. Do I have to enter it manually or should it be under the pre listed resolutions?
 
if you haven't checked.. the overscan settings on your TV might be doing that.
 
Make sure the refresh rate is set correctly as well.

Overscan is what causes the black bars - you can usually adjust that in Catalyst Control Center.

I would like to know the best desktop monitors that can be beneficial for me???

I want to set up a system that can support multiple screens - most probably 2.
