May 23, 2013 7:03 AM in response to yainfarbmanby sheila_m.,Hello yainfarbman,
Thank you for all the information you provided about the issue. If you look at the Technical Specifications of your MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP645), you can see that your computer should support the 1080p resolution:
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
If you are using mirroring, your Mac will attempt to match the closest resolution between the primary (or built-in) and secondary displays. You won't have to change any hardware on your computer, but you may need to set it up as an extended desktop for the 1080p resolution to be available. You can find the steps here to set the resolution when using the TV under the section titled "Extended desktop":

I hope this article helps you take advantage of the 1080p resolution of your HD LED TV.
Best,
