GPU scaling? - connected GPU to HDTV, but it cuts corners (image too big)

Hi, I'm using a GTX 460 and currently have both my monitor and HDTV hooked up. The monitor works fine, yet on the HDTV... the 'image' I see on the screen is too big, i.e you can only see a little bit of the taskbar at the bottom, and the top and sides are also cut off..

any idea how to make this smaller so that I can see the whole image on my HDTV? I previously had an ATI card and had to use scaling options for it to fit on my HDTV (by default, the ATI card produced an image too SMALL for my HDTV.. so I had to extend it - maybe this is the reason?)

please help, thanks
 
it may be a case of looking at your TV controls, on cheap branded TV have found it is a real pain sometimes to get 1:1 pixel mapping.

On some TVs you need to use a specific HDMI port number, and specific input as PC, then the TV will turn off all scaling and pre-processing features.

What tv do you have? I had the same problem and had to turn overscan off on the tv menu / settings - it sorted it out!
