[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 70907, member: 14776"] Note that unlike PC displays, nearly no flatscreens will accept their native resolution at input and display it as that! I know, this sounds insane, but tvs are a world of itself, and in the tv-world, material is usually distributed with excess area that may be cropped (overscan) in crt tvs. For some reason the engineers that design Philips tvs, Pioneer plasmas, and many other high-quality brands found that computer users would probably enjoy a second pass of rescaling and cropping :-( For some tvs it is possible to circumvent this by using VGA in stead of DVI/HDMI (but then you wont be able to playback HD-DVD/BR legally...) remember to use the graphics driver panel or an external app that lets you tweak non-standard resolutions for the PC. Normally, this is 1360x768 for lcd tvs. For some, you will still see perhaps 1250x720 source-pixels stretched out across the 1366x768 lcd physical pixels of the display... -k [/QUOTE]
