Help centering output on HDTV via HDMI please.
Hi.
I've got a new Vista PC with a NVIDIA 8500 GT card. It is hooked via HDMI to my Samsung HL-S4266W DLP HDTV. Things are good except that the screen image from the PC is not centered on the screen. And I can not figure out how to center it. NVIDIA control panel has a setting to adjust the size of the output, but not the position of the output on the screen. My image is left of center and leaves about 3/4" blank on the right side. There are no controls to center the image via the HDTV setup area. How can this be corrected? Thanks! Ward |

Andy It does, but only if you have hooked up the pc to the tv via vga cable. The option is no longer available if you have it hooked up via hdmi. |

Might be a daft question and not relevant but I also have a Sammy 42" (slightly different model) and as long as I set the resolution correctly to suit the TV (1280x720) I get full screen with no need to centre. What resolution do you have it set to? (Note that my Sammy however does have a VGA input for PC's which is great) |

It very confusing that it will not center on the display. Today in fact I was just reading in the Samsung owners manual. It says quote: "You can not connect this TV to a PC via HDMI/DVI." I've thought about just hooking the two together again with the VGA cable. I *know* that works, but I really want the digital image provided with the HDMI cable. Does anyone know if the firmware/software in the Samsung DLP TVs is upgradeable? |

The AV Forums were decent IIRC when I was trying to decide which screen to buy... http://www.avforums.com/forums/index.php HTH |
