This is common, at least for my 37" widescreen LCD/tv/monitor, too:
Here's some portions of my xorg.conf file:

DisplaySize 347 195 # display size in mm for DPI autoset
# width = 1366pix / 100pix/in -> 13.66in * 25.4mm/in -> 347 mm
# height = 768pix / 100pix/in -> 7.68 in * 25.4mm/in -> 195 mm
Mode "1366x768" # vfreq 59.815Hz, hfreq 47.553kHz

Note:
I'm still using the SVGA port, not the HDMI port
and I do experience a little bit of "cropping"
but the numver 1360 is more correct. Everything
my setup is pretty much standard.
The model number was indicates a 32" screen, but
in fact it is a 37" screen. I do not believe this
makes a whole lot of difference. If/when you get
the HDMI interface working send me some email
with any differences in the xorg.conf file you notice.
