[QUOTE="shawnwc, post: 71355, member: 24006"] This may not be a MediaPortal issue - but maybe I can get a couple suggestions of things to check. I have a 50" Sony SXRD. GeForce 6500, delivering 720p to the TV via DVI out. 2 issues : 1. Windows XP and all apps appears to be slightly larger in all directions than the screen, that is to say that I'm missing a little bit of the top, bottom, left and right. I can see just enough of the START button to click it. This is clearly a video card issue - but any obvious things to check appreciated. 2. I know that only 16x9 DVDs should fill the screen, otherwise widescreen movies will still have black bars at the top and bottom. However playing widescreen DVDs in Media Portal plays them in the center of the TV, with black bars all around. I suspect this is a Media Portal issue - any thoughts? Sorry in advance if there are lengthy threads about this already... I've been up all night fighting with this new PC and windows update. [/QUOTE]
