Hello, i have a problem.

When i connect my laptop with hdmi to my samsung hdtv the edges are cut off, i searched for many threads on google already but couldn't solve my problem so i post this. The hdmi cable is in the hdmi/dvi input and i changed it in the source meno to 'PC' but nothing changed/happend. Then i saw on threads much things about going in 'menu' to 'picture' and search in 'screen adjustments' to something like 'fill' or 'mode' or whatever it was, but if i go to picture there is like only 1 usefull setting for the resolation and thats the format button, when i press it 16:9 is highlighted, the other 2 options are 'zoom' or '4:3' but both still not fixing my problem, any one can help me? I'll read the answers as fast as possible, or you can send me a mail: wout.engels@LiVe.be because i have to sleep now.. it's CET here.

Thanks!

Did it but can't find anything like 'screen fit'

On one of my Samsung TVs it says "just scan", which is 1:1 pixel mapping.

[jammyb]

Screen fit is in picture mode

16:9
4:3
Etc
Etc
Screen fit.

Or 1:1

So, I am not 100% clear. woutaccor, are you talking about overscan? Thats a normal thing when send sending a pc signal to a TV. Why dont you just do the video calibration in the XBMC settings menu to adjust it?

Not on my TV, for a reason

[aesalazar]

It would be Settings > System > Video Output> Video calibration...

See if that helps.

Ernie

[coolasice]

if it is an ati video card there is a setting you can adjust for that

[woutaccor]

It would be Settings > System > Video Output> Video calibration...

See if that helps.

On the TV or PC?

XBMC. I assume you are talking about setting up XBMC on a PC connected to a TV.

I know but on my TV there isnt a just scan option

[aesalazar]

US TVs dont have an option like that - at least I have never seen one. Wish they did, sounds handy.

If you are running a skin other then confluence, try switching back to find it:
