Monitor display help!

You should be using the TV screens native resolution (I can't confirm as you didn't provide the model number - try the TV User Manual or Google).

If you are using the native resolution, and the image is "too big", it's likely the result of overscan.

Both nVidia and ATI have a setting in the drivers to correct for Over Scan. One of them actually refers to it as overscan, and the other merely offers the ability to make the image fit the screen. Both do the same thing (ie: ensure a native resolution input correctly fits the screen).

EDIT: nVidia Control Panel / Display Section / Adjust desktop size and position (allows you to center the desktop and adjust it's size to fit the screen).


NOTE: The above assumes that you don't have ZOOM or some other feature enabled or configured on that input of the TV.

Also, a few TV related items:

1) press the Screen Mode button (of the remote control) to try different screen modes to see if this solves the overscanning

2) in the onscreen Set-up Menu, go into AV Preset menu and edit the name of the input source from HDMI1 to 'PC' or 'Computer' or 'PC-Computer' or something similar

3) in the onscreen Set-up Menu, go into HDMI Set-up menu and fiddle with the few options there

4) 720P TV's often have a native resolution of 1366x768 (not 1280x720).

5) Try both HDMI (1 and 2) inputs, especially HDMI2 which is designated for PC
