[QUOTE="Mendingo, post: 42488, member: 19005"] Here's what you need to do: (I'm assuming you have it plugged only into the TV) 1. Set your desktop to the resolution you prefer (I'd reccomend 800x600) 2. Right click on the desktop->properties 3. Click Settings Tab 4. Click "Advanced" 5. Click "Geforce xxxxxx" tab (where xxxxx is the name of your card) 6. On the menu down the left, click on "TV Settings" 8. Click "Device Adjustments" 9. Move the screen around and Zoom in until you have no black borders round the edge of your screen (Don't worry if some of the desktop is lost) 10. Click OK, OK, OK 11. Now in MediaPortal, go to Settings->Screen Calib.->Screen Calib 12. Set the corners so they are JUST off the edges of your screen (better to lose a few pixels than to have a black border) 13. Keep going through the settings until you get to pixel ratio adjustment. 14. Adjust this until the box is perfectly square. Exit this and try and play a video that should fit your screen perfectly (either 4:3 or 16:9). If you still have black borders, go back and adjust the ratio again. (make the square fatter if you have borders down the sides, and thinner if you have borders along the top and bottom) You probably won't get it perfect, and will need to move the corners a little more beyond the edges of your screen to ensure the picutre fills the screen. Also, make sure the aspect ratio is set to "Normal", not "Streatch" Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
