Resolution question..again!

dustysox — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 06:53:21 GMT

Hi,

I am using a KDL40X2000 along with my XL301.

My problem is I can't seem to get the resolution right. I am connecting via HDMI. The graffics card is Nvidia Geforce 7600GT. Driver vers 7.15.11.6222

The round Vista symbol in the corner is about two thirds visable. My understanding is that I can set to tv resolution of 1920 X 1080.So when using the resloution utility set to 1080, the problem still exists.Also sometimes when I scroll through the AV inputs the XL input is not always visable, and I have to reboot the XL

What is the correct settings/drivers?

Regards

Me

I think you need to reduce the resolution.
Set it to 1768*992 and that should solve your problem.

Good luck!

Hi,

Thankyou for the heads up. Will certainly give it a try.

Hi,

I have the KDL-40W2000 which is similar to the X series, and it has a setting to change the zoom (or something like that), which should solve your problem.

You will also need a newer video driver to get 1080p.

To solve the black screen when you change AV settings you will need various hot fixes for Vista. Check out http://support.microsoft.com/.

I have to admit until Microsoft and NVidia sort or there issues / bugs, Vista is just un-usable! A lot of the problems are related to waking from sleep - freezes on a black screen, no sound through HDMI, no live tv until you switch channel, etc.

Me again!

Also, the other message that appears on the tv more times than I like is "Unsupported Signal, Check your device output"

Any ideas?

Here's some of the hotfixes I've installed, not all of them are relevant:-

A Windows Vista-based computer stops responding when you resume the computer from hibernation

When you resume a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep, you may experience unexpected behavior from a USB device

You may experience problems after you resume a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep or from hibernation

A Windows Vista-based computer that uses a PCI-E graphics device may stop responding when you wake the computer from sleep

The screen may be black or the menu screen may be unresponsive in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista

You need to phone Microsoft and request the hotfixes and they will email a link with a password so you can download them.

Regarding the NVidia video driver, you might have to wait. They keep releasing new drivers, but they still have problems. I installed the latest beta driver which seems to be more stable, but they appear to have removed 1080p support!
