Hi,
I have a laptop that I use asa media server with my plasma TV to play movies over HDMI (via my receiver). When I had windows v8 the Intel control panel for video allowed me to scal the horizontal and vertical picture size as percentages so I could get the picture to appear on the TV without cutting off the edges. Now I have upgraded and the geniuses at Intel seemed to have "simplified" the graphics control panel so it only has 3 scaling options, center, fill and maintain aspect ratio. Now I cant get the picture size to fit my plasma, the task bar and icons on the desktop are truncated out of visibility. With the old control panel I could set those percentage scaling values so the picture fit exactly correct.
What are my options now that the old HD4000 control panel has basically been dumbed down by Intel after the upgrade to 8.1? I'd rather not go back to windows 8, but if I have to I will. Is there a way to get my picture to shrink so it does not truncate on the TV. The laptop screen is fine, its just the 55 inch plasma display needs the size adjusted to not truncate the image. Is there any chance of getting a custom scale in the video profile I use with my Integra receiver and Panasonic plasma?
Thanks
Rick
