Problem with running games on Sony HDTV
Hi,
I upgraded my Graphics Card to a Radeon HD 4350 as my motherboard onboard graphics card was old and wasn't supported in Windows 7.
I have a 50 inch Sony LCD TV. I have extended the display to show on the tv and the monitor.
My problem is that whenever I try and play older games on my PC the monitor the TV automatically kicks into VGA mode, full screen but blurred to hell, the monitor displays the game perfectly but I want the benefit to play my games on my large screen Sony TV.
My settings for the Sony TV are 1920 x 1080. I guess the TV kicks into VGA mode as the games were meant to run in VGA originally and the resolution of my TV is too high.
I have downloaded Powerstrip but I don't know if that could help solve the issue and I don't really understand how to use it.
I also downloaded Dxwnd and managed to run some of my games full screen without any switch to VGA mode. It doesn't work on all of my games but I guess it's better than nothing.
Can I do anything about it this or is it just not possible to run older games on a large display?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
