TV Out--where to find TV Monitor Drivers?

Hi,
I moved my Nvidia MX440 to a new machine, and it doesn't have 'Generic Television' as a monitor type when I go to change or add a monitor.

I recall when I was testing different monitor types on the other machine there was a monitor type that all of a sudden allowed the Display Settings to be set to all sorts of different resolutions--most notably were the widescreen ratios--there was something like 680X400 (I could have it wrong, but it was definitly shorter and wider than 640X480).

With these resolutions, the text was much, much clearer than in any of the standard ones--I could actually read email. So where would one find at least one, but preferably many, monitor drivers--specifically it'd be nice to get one for my exact model of TV.
Thanks,

TV's don't have any drivers, as composite video (or s-video) is a set standard.

I would try out different versions of the nVidia drivers and see if one of them enables the different resultions.
