Panasonic TX-L32E6B > HDMi (PC Connection)

[markyb]

Hello,

Last week I bought a Panasonic TX-L32E6B to replace our aging Samsung 26" LCD.

The TV is situated in our dinning room and connected to a DELL 775 (Core2Duo, 4Gb of RAM and a Geforce 610 GT Graphics Card /With HDMi) which runs Windows 7 and XBMC which then in turn is hooked up to my Server as a source for all media.

Upon connecting the new TV to my Media PC it booted up to the desktop which was around 10% missing on all sides. I could just make out the taskbar. The resolution was set to 1920x1080 (Native) I played around with the Nvidia settings which I could set a custom resolution which got around the problem but the screen and text was not very clear - I reset it back.

I tried a couple of options on the TV (Just, Fit e.t.c) but all do not display the image fully.

Am I doing something wrong here? Its a fantastic TV.

Have the same TV used with my PC you need to go into settings

Also turn sharpness right down in TV settings or text will look a bit odd

Thanks mate!

I'll try when I get home. How did you find the quality of the screen being used on the desktop? It looked a little blurry and not as sharp as I'd liked. But that maybe down to my current settings.

Find the screen ok to my eyes it's nice and clear plus have mine set as True Cinema

If it's the text which looks blurry you need to turn sharpness right down to 0 in TV settings it sounds a bit odd but works

Only thing i've ever changed on PC is to turn off Vsync in Nvidia control panel as it added a bit of stutter to watching TV via my SD and HD TV dongles

Just got in to try this but the setting were already what you had. I'm still seeing the edges of the screen cut off...

 

[EYEREX]

Is the windows desktop cut off as well or just when running XBMC as will download XBMC to see what it's like on mine

Windows desktop is cut off as well.

You can see the desktop here. Its hard to see from this picture but the image/text does not look right... Just not as clear.

Fixed it mate.

After I ensured I had the same settings as you above, I changed the aspect from "Just" to 16:9 and straight away it centered the desktop. The fonts still did not look right so I adjusted the Sharpness down to "0"

What a difference, it looks crystal clear now. Any other settings which you changed?

Thanks for your help mate

Glad you got it sorted

Not really played with any of the other settings like fine tuning the colour and gamma that's a bit over my head so just have mine set on True Cinema, have turned off a few of the Eco modes as i kept getting the warning TV was going into standby every now and then
