just try
its not like you'll blow up your tv

Btw, did you change your TV picture settings on the bravia to "aspect ratio | just scan" after changing to 1080p in nvidia control panel?

I forgot about that

No, I didn't do that; apparently, there's a option to turn on 1;1 pixel (called "Full Pixel") that seems to get the job done. After much research, I now have it set to "extend these displays", I can actually have the TV in 1080p! I did have another couple of questions, though. Would it be better if both primary and secondary monitors were set at 720p (1280x720) or is it better to have separate resolutions (A:1440x900 and B: 1920x1080)? And is there any way to have the TV "save" the settings for full pixel? About your question "did you change your TV picture settings on the bravia to "aspect ratio | just scan" after changing to 1080p in nvidia control panel?" Does it negatively impact anything if I don't?

Yes, 1:1 pixel mapping is the same thing as 'just scan'.
The TV wont attempt any kind of scaling or stretching of the image. It took me a while to realize as I previously had some aspect ratio enabled

I don't see why it'd make a difference. GTS250 is not really a top range card but it can probably sustain rendering to two displays at 1080p in light use (if you actually utilize both).
Just set both at max res., even if they're not symmetrical (like in your example) it shouldn't matter

The main LCD doesn't support 1080p (max resolution is 1440x900) but it does support 720p. I know the GTS 250 isn't top of the line, but it manages to display 1080p on the HDTV no problem. Perhaps I'll just keep it the way it is.

Try going to nvidia control panel and under display go to "adjust desktop size and position" then click the resize desktop button. I have to do it this way for my tv and set it to 1828x1022.

But like I asked before, as long as the TV is still getting a 1080p signal, it doesn't matter if the resolution is 18xx by 10xx, right? If I understand nVidia's tutorial, it says "This new resolution is a virtual screen resolution. Your HDTV will still receive a full 1080i (or 1080p) signal however it will include an invisible black border which you do not see to compensate for our HDTVs overscanning". Which one can assume, won't cause lasting harm. Then again, why would it, right?

If by "harm" you mean burn-ins on the screen, it's not really that common at all for black to burn in. And setting resolutions differently on a TV arnt all that different to an LCD Monitor or even a CRT monitor. It's rare to cause lasting harm unless you display the EXACT SAME image for hours upon end. So that's like, never click on the start button, never having a program open on the taskbar, the clock never changing, etc etc.
Just try and find whatever works best . I've personally never encountered anything burning into one of my tv's but I've seen it on others so I know it's possible, just be sensible and you'll be fine.
