ok, ive searched and searched....and no matter what i cant get this thing just right.


I have a p4 2.5 with a g4 ti4400 dvi out to a 65" Sony KP65WS510 tv (HD). I have a problem with over scan, and everything could be a little clearer but the overscan and oversized windows is getting old. Is it possible or not to make this monitor work like a computer monitor? I downloaded and installed powerstrip, have the latest Nvidia drivers, and I have been fiddling with the service settings on the TV because i was reading a thread and they were talking about the MID4:3 settings. I couldnt find those on this TV, is there an equivalent? Theres like a million other items to mess with but i didnt find what i was looking for........anyone have their PC hooked up to this or similar model TV? Please help a brotha out here!! I just want this damn thing to work. Here is my monitor info if that will help....

Okay, okay calm down, take a deep breath.


Now, I'm not an expert, but I may be able to help a little. First, did you read Karnis's guide to Powerstrip settings? If not, here's a link:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hreadid=206854


The next thing is that you weren't completely specific as to how the htpc is hooked up to the tv - please elaborate.


Also, what resolutions are you having trouble with? It looks to me like you're trying to run 960x540p, is that right? I will say that on my Mits 55", 960x540 has a lot of overscan & makes a desktop kind of a pain to navigate. You might want to try 856x480 @ 540 timings (per Karnis's guide, linked above) for a better fitting desktop. I use 1920x1080i for DVD playback - not sure if the GF cards are supporting interlaced, though (they weren't when I had a GF card in my htpc).


The next thing is that if you have a lot of trouble with custom resolutions, such as getting the display adapter to accept them, you may want to try a Radeon card. I went round & round with my Ti4200 & couldn't get what I wanted until I bit the bullet & got a Radeon 9600. Everything works as it should now. Might want to think about that as a last resort, though.


Hope that helps.
