Connecting my laptop to my TV *RESOLUTION*

Forum Graphics & Displays : TV Tuner Cards Connecting my laptop to my TV *RESOLUTION*

Word :    Username :           
 

My laptop has HD-DVD, but its resolution is like 1280 x 800. HD-DVD resolution is something like 1900 x 1220. I'm getting an HDMI to HDMI cord, but this won't make it look any better on my TV. Is there any way I can make my HDTV the actual screen of the laptop, so that nothing appears on the laptop, and the video signals are all transmitted to the TV?

It's an acer laptop, but I think I figured it out. I have to right click the and go to the nVidia control panel and I can choose either single or multiple displays when I connect my laptop to my TV. I then choose single and I can increase the resolution depending on how good my TV is.
