As per title, I am really confused atm. I was using a plain jane 32" LG TV for a very long time as a comp. monitor. I recently bought a much nicer 32" sony W650 tv to use as a monitor, and ever since i plugged it in, things have looked too big.
When I first plugged it in, I assumed the issue was due to my resolution being set wrong. At that time, and the entire time since, Windows 8 tells me it's set to 1920x1080 like it should be. Things still looked too big so I fiddled w/ the options and did the "make items smaller" option in the display settings, issue felt resolved.
However, today I tried to install FF14 and had some issues getting it to select 1080p in borderless window. This led me to look for the optimized settings via the Experience, and when I look at the "my rig" tab, the spot that has always said "1080x1920" is displaying the very unwanted "1280x720".
I've changed 2 things in my set up; my TV, and a new HDMI cable. My TV says it's currently in 1080p mode when I look at the display settings, and even when I change display settings between presets.
The HDMI cable was nicer than my old one, so it shouldn't be the issue AFAIK. I WILL say, it was an Audioquest cable I got for cheap (I work for Best Buy), and unlike any other cable I've ever looked at, has a designated "flow" of the "this end goes to device output, this end goes to TV input" variety. I have no idea why this would be the culprit, but then I have no idea what the cause of this is anyway.
I honestly haven't the slightest idea what would be going on here. Anyone got suggestions?
