I just had a PC built with Windows 10. I use a 30" Sanyo TV as a monitor. I set resolution to 1360 x 768 (recommended). If the P{C goes to sleep it reverts to 640 x 480. Sometimes if I restart the PC it goes back to 1360 x 768 when it comes back up, sometimes it does not. When it goes to the 640...
