Connecting PC up to 1080p lcd tv panel. Resolution is whacked.
Just got the new X Series Sony TV's in at work and I suggested setting one up with a pc to view HD trailers and stuff since we don't have HD-DVD here yet. Anyway, it's hooked up to a HP Media Centre box with a Geforce 7600 card in it. The screens native res is 1920 x 1080 and that's what the pc is set to, however the picture flows over the sides of the screen. Ran a couple of 1080p wmvhd trailers off the MS website and they looked like crap.
Running it through a DVI -> HDMI cable. Will using a VGA cable work better for me or is there some other trick?

Actually got it fixed up yesterday. There was a setting only available while using the HDMI cables called 'Full Pixels'. And that made everything look normal. Thanks.
