Extending my display to my HDTV

[Citizen Soldier]

okay i just got a Blu Ray player for my computer and i got it all hooked up and working. I got both displays up and running on my Computer Monitor and HDTV using DVI and HDMI wires. The only problem i have is getting to the screen to fit right with my TV. On the tv my display is too big and it cuts off the edges of the screen so im not seeing the whole picture. any suggestions to fit the display image to the TVs resolution.

there may be a way to adjust the overscan in your video cards control panel, im not sure... there are also programs you can download which you need to research cause i cant remember that will allow you adjust the over/underscan.

part of the problem may be that your tv just doesnt do 1:1 mapping (depends on the type and brand of tv) and is built in to automatically overscan the image

maybe your tv isn't 1080p? only thing i can think of.

probably just poke around in the advanced section of your card's control panel

welll my hdtv is 1080i. so that wasnt the problem. i just had a few glitches with nvidia control panel with changing the resolution of my tv. I rebooted with the hdmi cord plug in to my tv from my computer and it was fixed when it started up. weird...
