Hi.

I have a 32" LCD widescreen tv and it supports these resolutions via hdmi/dvi cable:

1024x768
1280x768

What is the best resolution? I want real 16:9 but that's not supportet by the lcd tv. Anyway around the problem??

most probably your TV has a panel of 1366x768 - verify it in the manual

since there is no "official" DVI resolution of 1366x768 many times it is not mentioned in the capabilities of that connection - that doesn't mean it doesn't work

verify if YOUR PANEL is indeed 1366x768, then use a software like powerstrip (google it) and MAKE a 1366x768 resolution for your graphics driver

if you manage a 1:1 pc-2-panel resolution, you "will see the light"

hmm I have downloaded powerstrip. Have managed to make a lcd driver for the tv but how do I make a driver for the graphics card with 1366x768 resolution? My tv is HDReady. I've got a Radeon 9600 card with 128 mb ram.

all is done in powerstrip

you make a 1366x768 resolution, you tweak it as much as you can so it in fact PLAYS on your TV (and card) and then you just save it - then it is one of the resolution your vga card will use

google for "powerstrip guide" and such - there are a few, very helpfull

Have made support for 1366x768 and when I choose that my picture is bigger than the tv can show (to the right). Guess my tv does'nt support 1366x768 from pc?

not necessarily - you probably have to play with the powerstrip parameters

have you verified the REAL panel resolution?

Ok.. here is what is listed under modus for pc:

640x480
800x600
1024x768
1152x864
1280x960
1280x1024

you mean in the manual?

I am asking about THE PANEL RESOLUTION
is there any mention anywhere?

1280x1024 is the official maximum because "it has to be" (it's a certified mode where 1366x768 is not)
