So: here is my problem, even if i don't expect to solve it, i hope someone could give me some hint.
I have this TV/Monitor from DICRA (a strange chinese brand which is literally unknown) which supports 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz resolution, it has an HDMI and a VGA port, i discarded the HDMI solution because of a strange post-processing thing that this tv has and it looks like crap with HDMI on screen, so the only solution is to use the VGA, adapted with a VGA to DVI adapter which is connected to my GPU, a Sapphire R9 270X.

Here comes the problem: this damn TV sometimes forces himself to 1600x1200 and the only way to make it back to 1920x1080 is to unplug and plug it in again for a few times, this "temporary" workaround suddenly doesn't work anymore, so the only way is to force it to the highest res with your HOLY software BUUUUT, when i do it the result is that i get a "zoom" effect and some part of the screen goes offscreen, it seems the scaling isn't working, i tried activating and deactivating GPU Scaling from the "AMD Radeon Setting" software, but in both ways it keeps off scaling.

Why am i killing myself trying to find a solution? I can't afford a new monitor for some time, but i need to use one so, i'm stuck in this vortex :C
Any help is really appreciated, thanks.

The problem is cheap TVs like to mess with the image for some stupid reason. First, try HDMI again and delete the extension block. That will make it send a DVI signal instead of HDMI, which the TV might treat differently. If that doesn't help, try using the "LCD reduced" timing parameters for 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz. If that doesn't help, try VGA with the "LCD reduced" or "CRT standard" timing parameters.
