Why is vista recognizing my hdtv as a generic pnp monitor
I am using an Olevia 232V and a newly purchased computer which is running
vista a m9077c and the graphics card is a nvidia 8500GT. I initially(after I found out that just the tv wouldn't work at all on its own) connected a monitor (vga via dvi converter) and the hdtv (via HDMI) at the same time to find a resolution that the tv would display. The resolutions that are reccomended for the tv would not and will not work such as: 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768, and 1360 x 768(the ideal choice.) The resolution that I am currently using is 1216 x 1084 and as a result the picture is smaller than the screen. I can successfully resize it but everytime I reboot or my computer goes to sleep it shrinks again. And when I try to play video games like Diablo II the monitor says invalid format and displays a black screen until I exit the game. I just found out that it is identifying my hdtv as a generic pnp monitor and think this may be the problem. please, all suggestions and solutions are welcome. |
