OK, I've been using an 32" HDTV, as my main monitor, with a 17" Samsung VGA, which gives fairly decent colour fidelity. So I thought I'd bring into play a second HDTV - 27". Nice, but wasn't happy with it so I decided to revert to the original setup.
And this is where my trouble began . . . .
My 32" is now not showing all my desktop. OK, I check out my Reso. Yes, 1920x1080. All as it should be. I do a driver nVidia update. Still no improvement. I do a DIRECT VGA connection to the 32" and I get full display. Hmm . . . . . There now HAS to be a bad port here! Argg....
I go out with friends for supper. 2 bottles of Cote de Rhone and so on later . . . .
3am this morning I'm at it, checking this and that and so on . . . check out some nVidia website forums about 1x1 pixel formats; HDTVs not responding to the reso of the driver . . .this is going waaaay over my head . . .
Then one bright spark mentions that maybe the postee should see if his HDTV can be set to correct OVERSCAN. EHhhhI can't do that with this tellie? No, I can't (hold that thought . . ). I look through the zapper for pixel settings and I've got 16x9 - yeah, that's the one, that's where it should be on and that's exactly WHAT I'm not getting!!! OK, just for larfs I decide to gently, flick through the remainder of the Picture ratios - Original ( what's that?); 4:3 - nah .. ; 14:9 - nope; ZOOM, no way . . ; and then, 2nd from the top "Just Scan" - Bosh! I get all my desktop back. Vegas is in like a bullet, and all is well with the World.
Simple . . . And now I remember, I'd NOT had it on 16x9 previously, it was ALWAYS on "just scan". And now I know - I think! - what it means. "Just Scan" must deliver a square pixel(?) yes? Could that be what it means?
I hope this will be of value to others.
Cheers
