Can't get maximum resolution on my AOC i2353

I just got a new AOC i2353 monitor hoping to pair it with my 13' macbook pro(2010 model) via display port to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable directly to the monitor. Howerver, i can't get it to display at maximum resolution it offer(max is 1080i). I can't run any of the drivers and installation softwares came with the it and my macbook pro won't detect the monitor. When i set it to 1080i mode, I see horizontal and vertical disturbances or waving. Also, picture become blurred. However, if i switch it to 1080p, picture become much shaper and no waving. Is there anyway to hard set the native resolution of the display since my macbook pro( Max OS x 10.6.8, 2.4 GHZ core 2 duo and Nvidia GeForce 320M) won't auto dectect my new montior.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I have a mid 2011 13' MBP and just bought this monitor. I used thunderbolt to VGA connector to link to the monitor, which works great as it leaves the two HDMI ports open (one of which I use for hooking up an xbox). I didnt run any of the drivers or anything like that. Just went into system preferences - displays, then increased the resolution to 1920 x 1080. I think you can also use the OSD on the monitor itself to make the change. Not sure how helpful that is, but good luck!
