[QUOTE="jonaskp, post: 516291, member: 26015"] HDMI will give a better picture. How much, is up to how big a difference you can see. I have the same issue. My TV is a Samsung Plasma, and I can resolve it by changing something in the TV-menu in order to enable 1:1 pixelmapping. On my tv, it is a setting called "Just Scan". The normal setting is "16:9", but If I change this to "Just Scan" the desktop fills the screen, no overscan with the resolution of 1280x720p. So if your tv has the same setting, I would recommend using it. Problem for me is that everytime I reboot and BIOS is shown on screen, the above setting changes back to "16:9". So I just have to keep my TV turned off when I boot the PC, and everything is fine. At the moment, I am using IR Server Suite (plugin to MediaPortal, search for IRSS) to blast a "TV ON/OFF" command to my tv, when the computer has booted windows and the same when it shuts down. So I don't have to manually turn on the tv at the right moment anymore. Before I found this solution, I did however use the same resolution of 11xx 6xx like you have found. The picture goes almost all the way to the edge, so it was a resonable compromise for me at the time. [/QUOTE]
