Two problems:
1) When I connect my desktop computer to my HD tv (supposedly it's a 1080p tv) via HDMI, I have to set the resolution setting in Windows to 1050p. That's the only way to get the image to correctly fill the screen. Kinda irritating that it won't work correctly with the desired resolution of 1080p. I have a computer monitor that is also 1080p and I have no problems there.
Why would a 1080 tv be more compatible with a 1050 signal?
2) If I hook up my laptop to the same tv via HDMI, there is no resolution setting in Windows that will correctly fill the screen. This is actually an annoyingly common problem I've had with laptops. I've experienced it with a variety of laptops on a variety of tv's, and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it. How do I fix problem 2? Problem 1 is more tolerable, but still troubling.
Thanks!
