The native resolution of a television or display is the physical layout of the pixels in the display. It is fixed and cannot be set.
Any signal received that is not at the display's native resolution will be re-sized to that it will fit the native resolution of the display.
A native resolution on a monitor refers to the resolution it is meant to be run at, where the resolution usually matched to being pixel perfect.
The native resolution fo UXGA is 1600 x1200.Ben
The native resolution, which is the actual (and fixed) number of pixels built into the monitor.
E.g if the monitors native resolution is 1280x1024 and the computer is set to 800x600, setting the monitor to its native resolution would:1) make the picture allot sharper and clearer, because the 800x600 image isn't being stretched across the 1280x1024 pixels, and the monitor is optimized to be used at the native resolution.2) be able to see more on things like Internet explorer, Microsoft office and my documents, because there will be more pixels in use.
Use your monitors native resolution.
LCD monitors are designed to run at a native resolution. They have fixed dots that should line up with a pixel on your display. If your monitor is not set to its native resolution, it will try to display it, but the end image will be blurry and possibly distorted. You should change your computer's DPI (Dots Per Inch) setting instead of resolution if you find things too small to view on an LCD monitor.

A "Native Resolution" on a monitor refers to the resolution it is meant to be run at, where the resolution usually matched to being pixel perfect <Meaning information displayed on the screen for the computer matches up to display's pixels perfectly. The computer will put out, for example, a 1280x1024 screen in which the contents of it's desktop or video stream will fit in, and the monitor is able to display this perfectly because that is what the Raster is set too. Now CRT monitors usually had a maximum resolution it would be able to display and could do smaller resolutions by switching phase without much, if any, loss in quality. This was one of the few advantages of a CRT over and LCD, which can display lower resolution but must resort to "Interpolation" in order to do so. Interpolation allows the LCD to display a resolution lower then it's native. Such as the monitor above with a 19 inch display and a native resolution of 1280x1024 (4:3 aspect ratio) would be able to show a computer screen at a res of 800x600, but it would look much worse then a LCD of native 800x600 resolution. So when a monitor says "Native Resolution: 1920x1080" it means that is the resolution your computer should be set too in order to get the best quality. Hope that helps!

The most likely possibility is that your monitor might not support that particular resolution. Some monitors can be finicky about the resolution they support. Furthermore, if your monitor is an LCD monitor, you might not actually want it to be at 1366x768 if that is not the monitor's native resolution. LCDs are designed to look best at their native resolution.
