I bought my wife a 46" Element ELEFT466 HDTV (college girl was getting rid of it at a very cheap price, couldn't pass it up), and attempted to hook it up to my PC via HMDI. The display and the PC report that it is using 1080p, but the actual image is about half that resolution.
I have been using a Vizio 24" 1080p via HDMI as my PC monitor for a year or so, and I comparing the two, I am seeing about half the resolution (despite what the drivers, TV, etc. say) of the Vizio by the Element. Terrible image quality and all that too.
As far as I can tell, this is NOT an overscan issue. The entire screen is displayed (and I know how to adjust the scaling in CCC anyhow). This is a false resolution problem.
I've run through all the settings on the TV and Catalyst CC, but because they are (falsely) reporting the corrent resolution as 1080p, they aren't terribly helpful. (I did lower it to 720p, but that was almost unusable as the UI was grossly oversized.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
