Desktop To LCD Problem

[vmbam]

Hello

Well I just recently bought a Hp Pavilion (Desktop)
I Didn't Get a Montier Because Ive got my 42' Soniq LCD TV and a HDMI Cable,

But the Real Problem is Everything Works Well On the TV Except the Picture, the Picture is Wider then the TV, So Basically I can only see Half of the Task Bar, i can see the "Exit Button" i have to Minimze Every Single Time,
Ivé Tried Screen Resolution,

Ivé Tried 1920-1080 = No Luck Still The Same
-1280-720 = No Luck Still the Same
-720-560 = Still the Same

i Also Tried the Aspect Ratio's of the TV like 4:2 Ect But Still the Same -_-

I Really Need Some Help its So Confusing

You have to change the screen resolution in Windows,

Click the right mouse button on an empty part of your desktop and you will see this menu;



Choose "Screen Resolution" and you will get this menu;




From there you can set up your display as you would like to have it, always provided of course that the hardware ( TV-Display, Graphic Card etc) is compatible and the software ( if special drivers used etc) works.

like i said ive tried the screen resolution and still nothing

 

[Mike Connor]

Yes, but you did not say where you tried it, on the TV, in Windows............

Without information it is impossible to offer any sensible help. Without knowing what you are trying to do, and with what, there is no way to give you any useful advice on how to accomplish it.

Like i said, i tried the Aspet Raito on my Tv wich didnt do anything and i tryed and the options in windows even updating my grahpics card driver...but i am using a HDMI Cable from my tower to my 42'

Aspect ratios and various graphic card drivers are not your problem. The problem is that your TV is not showing the resolution you want to have. In order to achieve that, you need to know what your TV is capable of, and how it may be set up to achieve what you want. The windows display setups are also important.

Is this your TV?

If it is not, then tell me the model type and number of the TV you have.

Yes Thats My Tv But On the Box it Says "L42S10A""

 

[Mike Connor]

Your TV has a list of specifications like this;




( Those are the specifications from the TV I just posted a link to). I need to know which TV you have so I can find the correct specifications and tell you what you have to do to set it up.

Without the specifications I can't help you.

[Mike Connor]

I am downloading the instruction manual now. It will take a few minutes.

You need to open the windows display settings ( Screen resolution setup), and tell me what you see there.

What is the resolution in this box?

What is the resolution in the box on the windows display?

 

[vmbam]

Okay it Says -

Change the resolution in that box to 1920 X 1080

You might be asked to restart your machine, and your problem should be solved.

If it is not, then post again.

[Mike Connor]

OK. Click on "Advanced settings" in that box and you will get this;

OK. It seems your graphic card is there and working. Have a look at the resolution box again,does it still say 1920 X 1080 ?

If it does, then there is a good chance that your TV is defective and can not display the recommended resolution.

It is however also possible that there is something not right with your graphic drivers.

Not much more I can do I'm afraid.

I would try installing the graphic card drivers again. Switch everything off, the TV as well, then restart, check that the resolution is correct at 1920 X 1080 , and if it still doesn't work, then get someone to have a look at your TV.
