i have an imac 27" and a mini display port/ vga adaptor. i have been running a 2nd 22" monitor with it as a dual screen setup. never had a problem

well i bought a 46" 1080p tv with pc input (vga) yesterday. i decided to hook it to my imac to send movies to and what not. but when i plug it in my imac resolution drops and i cant seem to get it to go back to its native 2560x1440 resolution? it wants to stay 1600x1200 or something. this is only when is plugged into the tv. stand alone or second monitor and no problems

is this normal?
