[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 598078, member: 53076"] Just a clarification, are you saying you have your 50" screen set to the desktop resolution -ie. 800x600@720? Or running dual monitors; a desktop + your TV at their respective resolutions? If the former, you need to adjust the resolution to the native one of the TV (1366x 768).
