You need to install DirectX 9, it does not ship with Windows Vista, 7 and 8.

Dude. "input" does not mean where you "put in" the plug. Input and output describes the direction of a signal. The ports on your video card are all outputs. The video signal comes from there and goes to the video input on your TV. Output to input.

If the monitor is 720p there is no way that it "went in 1080p"

If it's 1080p then you should run it in 1080p. Use the nvidia driver control panel to set up your displays.

Download and install the latest driver for the 9800 GTX here:

Like I said, you must create a custom resolution. But I'll bet that your HDTV probably won't sync to 53Hz. If you want to try, see attached image. Install the driver first.
