I have a 46" Samsung LCD television connected to a cable company converter box using the TV's HDMI input. The picture is cut off and you especially notice it on sports channels and programs when information displayed at the top or bottom of the screen is cut off. The "Zoom1" and "Zoom2" options are grayed out and not available in the Samsung "Picture Options" menu. I'm just trying to find out how to truly fit the entire picture to the screen. Could it be just a Samsung LCD TV setting or a cable box setting or a combination of both? While this is not a PC related issue (just a TV that is not connected to a PC), I wanted to check this community for input. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What you have to do is set the res to 1920x1080, then restart the computer. This will allow the tv to adjust to the resolution on boot.

If this does not work, switch your tv to a mode other than hdmi, then back. It should auto ajust to the res of the screen.

I know my TV cuts off the top/bottom if I use the default 'zoom' view; I have to use the 'full' view to get the whole picture.

I have exactly the same problem with this TV. When it has occurred on my Sony, I was able to fix it, but I don't know what to do here. Is this a problem for the cable company?
