Hello Everyone,
First let me apologize if this is the wrong place to post this question (moderators feel free to move as needed).
I am currently using my 5 year old Vizio HDTV as a monitor via HDMI cable, but it doesn't support the resolution that my BIOS output is at (or the other way around, not entirely sure). In any event, the BIOS is so massively blown up that I cannot see anything except for the top left corner of the screen I'm supposed to see.
I have Googled the ever-loving crap out of this and all I'm finding is "Ask the motherboard manufacturer" and "Ask the BIOS manufacturer" on their respective sites. I am assuming that most newer monitors, not TV's, will support the range of resolution needed, but would like to know for sure (or as close as possible to) before I dump money on a monitor that will not work, and with that receive a few recommendations from you pro's out there.
I have the following information grabbed from the respective tools:
dxdiag shows my motherboard as MSI model MS-7823 (this is not an option in their support sites list of models)
msinfo32 shows the same information about my motherboard and American Megatrends Inc V3.4, 9/18/2013 for BIOS Version/Date and SMBIOS Version is listed as 2.8
I don't know how much this helps you, if in fact it does at all, but I am assuming this is the needed information. If there is anything else that you need to know, just ask and I'll do my best to get you the information.
Thank you all very much!
