Hello,

I have:
AMD Athlon 64 X2, 4600+, Socket AM2, Boxed
Asus M2N-E
Asus EN7900GT /2DHT, 256 MB

Samsung Syncmaster 913N
Samsung LE26M51B LCD TV

I connect the LCD TV with a DVI to HDMI cable.

It seems I am not able to set the resolution @ 1920 x 1080... When I do this in Nvidia Control Panel (91.31), the screen does not fit my LCD TV.
Adjusting Edges does not work.
I know that the native resolution of my TV is 1366 x 768.


My first question: Is it possible to display 1920 x 1080?? 1080p??
Second: how do I do this and what do I need? :D

I found guides for ATI cards, but not for NVIDIA cards...

Please somebody help me experience true HD :twisted:

LCD TV's are not the same as LCD monitors. LCD Monitor will typically support higher resolutions, like what you are try to achive.

However, I would run your graphics card in the native resolution and evaluate the visual results.

I have a 27" Syntec that I am using for my monitor. It's native resolution is 1280 x720 and things look great at that.

I'm pretty sure most graphics cards will want to size to 1366 x 760. You should be fine.

Since you can't crank the resolution up as much as your want, try turning all visual details to high, and / or increasing your AA and AF to higher levels. You'll get all the eye candy that games can give. Personally, I think that's better than just cranking up the resolution.

Let us know how it works out for you.
