Native resolution extends beyond TV screen

I am setting up my first HTPC and everything (so far) has been great. The biggest issue right now is that my Proscan 32LB30Q flat panel television is cutting off the edges of the display. According to manual, the native resolution is supposed to be 1366 x 768, and in the Windows 7 resolution setting, it recommends the 1360 x 768 resolution (close enough), but there is more than just a mere 6 pixels missing. I had a bit of the same issue with my Sony Bravia 32", but at least that TV had controls for adjusting the display. From what I can tell, this does not. Anyone else have any other ideas? I appreciate it.

1366? I am no math wizard but pretty sure that does not divide into 8 lmao, no wonder it don't work so hot.

seriously though, that is the root of the problem.....I found this page which does a pretty good job at explaining why 1366 displays the way it does and some things you can try to make it better.

ouch, yeah mine has those options as well but also provides a "just scan" option which does just that, just scans and displays the picture with no processing.

Possibly "normal" is their version of "just scan" but I have a feeling some sort of processing is attached to the "normal" setting so yeah, you might have to get a little creative in your display settings.

Good luck!

one other thing i noticed after i downloaded this TV's manual is that if i switch to the VGA input, apparently options for adjusting the h/v position on the screen make themselves available. however, i am using the hdmi input whose menu options don't include h/v position options. lame.

You mean binary code? I don't think anyone uses that anymore.

i guess my sarcasm doesn't translate well in forums. anyways, thanks for explaining the difference between a CD player and a record player. i can't believe that in all my years of programming and undergraduate CS studies the difference was never made clear.

Let me begin by thanking you for your input on this topic. Second, I want to thank you for giving me a good laugh. My sarcasm and credentials obviously struck a nerve with you and your fragile self esteem. It's safe to assume that your ranter is no longer needed on this topic and you're now free to educate other "average intelligence" users with your expanse of super intelligence. rock on.
