does it need to be a hdmi/dvi connection? :S

The Samsung supports 1920x1080P over VGA and HDMI. I have the same set, tried both and work fine.

To play protected content yes.

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:19

do you think it could be a graphics card problem?....

badbob · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:19

Not talking about that, he just wants 1920x1080P @ 60hz to be working on the desktop.

It does seem people do have problems with LCD TV's, it's not just ATI but Nvidia, and even people with identical cards - some work, some don't. Luckily on both Nvidia 6150, ATI X300 and ATI X1900XT, with two LCD TV's (Sharp and Samsung) work fine after fiddling with the settings on the card/TV. Others haven't been so lucky.

I can only get 1600 x 1200 working properly. having the 1080 resolution overscans it and sends the desktop out of view in both vertical and horizontal :S

badbob · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:23

Have you got into "adjustments" it might have a overscan slider. Cycle through ratio modes on the TV also.

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:25

gonna try new drivers >.< maybe that will help? :s

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:33

I went into adjustments, the overscan slider couldnt do anything

badbob · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:37

Does your card have DVI out? On that there is a slider (1900XT) however on the 300XT there is no slider, yet it's displaying correctly.

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 01:43

erm on the card it does yeah but Im connected via vga...

does your gcard display manager show your tv make and model? mine just says "not supported"...

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 02:10

bob does your gcard display manager show your monitor name etc?????

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 16:27

is anyone using powerstrip to get a 1080 picture? I'd like to know their settings etc to set it up

badbob · 10 Jan 2008 at 16:31

No need to use powerstrip, on the three videocards or the three LCD TV's - one 1366x768 and two 1080p.

In ATI CCC or Omega drivers it reports the display as "Samsung" using DVI-HDMI, input #2

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 16:36

mine doesnt post the edid information? what can I do to get it?

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 18:31

should I contact ati or samsung about it :s

speeduk · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:03

Doesnt the TV have auto sync? No matter what manual settings I use I always get the pircute off the side but if I use auto it sorts it out.

stevenazari1 · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:37

erm well it connects to it automatically :S but it doesnt seem to send the edid info :S

RaiderX · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:42

best thing would be to use the dvi connector with a DVI - HDMI cable and enabling HDTV modes,

ubern00b · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:53

Does JustScan work on the VGA Input? I know it works on HDMI#2, it will fix the overscan.
