As you have probably guessed im a complete noob when it comes to this stuff and have no clue how to set it all up, however i have been watching downloaded movies from pc to tv with no probs on this setup:
windows display set to 1280x1024 @ 75hz (my preferred pc display) and "duplicate these displays" enabled then in ATI CCC i have my tv set to .......
enable GPU scaling checked (have no idea why but this was checked already)
scale image to full size panel checked (to get tv screen to look same as pc monitor)
in this same page CCC is reporting my tv: maximum reported resolution 1920x1080 and maximum reported refresh rate @ 60Hz
this has worked fine with what i believe a very nice picture appearing on my tv, so "why?" i hear you ask, am i asking for help ? well here is my problem:
i recently bought a blu ray player for my pc (Samsung DVDWBD SH-B083L) when i plug my HDMI cable into my pc to watch the movie through tv the disc loads through powerdvd and plays the first few seconds and then gives me an error stating that it will not play due to some sort of copyright issue (my blu-ray movies are all legit brand new dics bought through play.com) but, if i unplug my HDMI cable then run the blu-ray movie on just pc monitor all is fine and dandy which leads me to believe that all is needed is the correct settings in CCC and windows display manager ( i hope :S)
a little more info:
i do game alot and some of my games wont play unless i un-plug the hdmi cable, i have run the BD Adviser tool with HDMI cable unplugged and the advisor reports all hardware/ software fully capable of bu-ray playback with no probs, when i run the advisor with HDMI cable plugged in it reports:
"graphics driver" (8.732.1.0) as a red light (incapable)
"HDCP- compliant Display: No (red light also)
so what im after is some sound advise on setup/ settings and how to and not to
plzzzzzzzz
would be very grateful for your time and help and thank you in advance
Nick.
