Yesterday I bought a new pc-monitor. Before I had a 15" with resolution 1024*768. Now I have a 17" with resolution 1280*1024.
It looks like my tv only support 1024*768. When I see my desktop (or mediaportal) I have to scroll to see the rest of my desktop.
Is there any solution for this problem?

    There are a few options:
    1. Set up Dual screen (two active monitors) and set the TV to be primary (otherwise there is no HW Acceleration for MP).
    2. Lower your Resolution to SDTV, so that the output to TV is best.
    3. Use a plugin or other tool to switch resolution when using MP and to switch back when you exit MP.
