[QUOTE="aakins, post: 132371, member: 29975"] Hi guys, Trying to set up a htpc and i'm running into a few problems displaying the videos properly. I am using my old desktop to try to accomplish this. I have it connected to two displays, 1) 20" CRT via VGA 2) 51" Sony HD RPTV via DVI. I can set the graphics to Clone my CRT to my HDTV, at 1280x720p 60hz. My CRT doesn't love the resolution, but it works. My TV has some overscan, but not as much as when it is set to 1080i. I did have it displaying videos properly, but now when i play a movie from HD it will [B]only[/B] display when aspect ratio is Original, which doesn't fill screen at all (with only 480p movie on 720p screen). I need some help, because i've changed so many settings I've gotten lost on what has and hasn't been tried. Can you guys help me list out some posibilities of setting to try? Also, when i view TV it displays fine in the preview window, but when i go to fullscreen, it is just black (much like when i'm playing a movie in a stretch other than Original). :thx: [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 0.2.2 [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: Blue Wide [b]Windows Version[/b]: XP Home [b]CPU Type[/b]: 2.4GHz?
