Emasher Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Actually the resolution would be 1920x1080. Assuming your TV isn't on its side. It will be in the Display settings (Not sure exactly what they're called) in your control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thats what i thought but 1920 x 1080 makes it look weird, everything is really really small >.> Im running vista 64 bit if that makes a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That's the whole point... 1920x1080 is sharp as hell, stuff is meant to be tiny... If you want to read text, you should search for "resize fonts" in the Control Panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lol, always annoys me when I see people with TFT screens and resolutions below their screen's native, just because it looks small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Is your TV actually 1080p. Or is it 720p? If so, you want 1280x720. Otherwise, you're at the right resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well it just does not look right at 1920 x 1080, half of the bar is missing along the bottom, and the icons are off the left and right of the screen. Iv put the display at 1176 x 664 and that at least puts everything on the screen >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lol, always annoys me when I see people with TFT screens and resolutions below their screen's native, just because it looks small. QFT. Especially when people set it at school and you have to use a command line utility to change it.

What you need to do is put it at 1920x1080 and use the auto feature in the picture settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Refer to your TV's manual. I'm sure there is one. And if there isn't you could try playing around with the settings yourself. There might also be a "Picture Reset" option you could try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 What cables are you using? VGA or DVI to HDMI? something worse? TVs still tend to overscan when using non-digital connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
