Starcraft 2 Monitor Problem!

ShiversDan · 28 Jul 2010 at 23:21

Hi,

I am using my Samsung 40" HDTV as a PC monitor through a dvi to hdmi cable and am unfortunately having a problem with it. Whenever i select its native resolution of 1920x1080 the picture will be too big for the screen? so normally I have to scale it down in NVIDIA control panel to the custom resolution of 1804x1004. However I recently bought Starcraft 2 which does not have custom resolutions supported so i am forced to run i in 1920x1080 with the next best being 1680x1050 which I really don't want to use. Can anybody tell me how I can get the HDTV to run 1920x1080 but still have the picture perfectly fit the screen???? Thanks in advance.

You can use custom resolutions. In fact, you simple drag the corner of the screen when in windowed mode and you can make it whatever size you want.

You might need this to keep the mouse within the window though: http://www.dota-utilities.com/2008/11/downloads-warcraft-iiiwindows-mouse.html

Or, just try fullscreen (window) mode and see what happens.

could I have one please ?

and can you not use the custom res in the config? the Variables file in your sc2 folder look for height and width

Do you have an overscan type feature available on the TV? Not familiar with Nvidia software, but I know ATI has a eature than can fix this.

On a side note, how does it look? Haven't tried any RTS games on my 42" LCD, but then I would be sitting too close for that type of game.

I enabled something called Just Scan on my HDTV...is this overscan? because you guys told me to disable it but it seems to work fine with it enabled? What does it do exactly? it doesn't stretch the image does it?

I jsut raed a description that says "Just scan means the picture has no overscan or underscan, so what you're seeing is "edge to edge" picture without processing upscaling or downscaling." Can anyone enlighten me to what this does as im still clueless? lol thanks.
