I bought a Sharp LCD recently and ideally I'd like to build a new HTPC or upgrade my old one to use with it, but for now I just tried hooking up my Windows desktop.
It works fine but I can't get the resolution right... it either looks super streched or the sides are cut off from view. Now my video card, which is a Radeon 9800 Pro, is rather old so I'm not surprised it can't output 1920x1080... but what can I do to get a decent image on the TV?
I tried all the resolutions enabled in the display properties to no avail. Any ideas or any programs that would allow me to force it to output at a specific resolution (like smaller than 1920x1080 but same ratio)?
I don't have cable so if I can't get a decent image from my desktop then my new TV is pretty useless.
