[QUOTE="Geon106, post: 94501, member: 21689"] I'm running Media Portal through my TV which is a 24" Widescreen CRT, however Windows has the driver as "Generic TV" so its running on a 4:3 resolution(currently 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 is too hard to see on a standard TV), how do I get Windows to recognise it as a Widescreen? I'm thinking about upgrading to a 32" HD Ready LCD TV at some point(when i get enough money lol) But my question is, will the computer display a High Definition image on the screen? Isn't HD just a higher resolution image so as long as the graphics card can go up to that resolution it'll be okay?
