Hi all, ive got an 8800gtx, and im trying to connect it to my Panasonic Viera 37" hd ready tv, model number th-37px60B. I'm using a dvi to hdmi cable (the one end has an HDMI adapter plugged into it). For some reason ive tried all the possible output types, 720p and so on, but the whatever comes out from my pc, overlaps the tv screen. I know theres an option to reduce the output size, but that doesnt seem to want to do anything. Any suggestions>>??

If you open up your manual/user's guide it'll clearly tell you to use the PC input (VGA connector) at the resolution of 1024x768.

is it not possible to use the HD connector? I'm wondering why i cant use that and why it wont work, any particular reason? Is DVI as good>?

The native resolution for your plasma is 1024x720.
720p is 1280x720 so that's why your not getting it full screen.

From my HTPC I'm using DVI to HDMI to my 42" plasma but I don't use it as a monitor to avoid burn from static image. I only use it if I want to watch an HD movies or to show other media (image slideshow etc).

i wanted to use it for gaming. So thats why i wanted to do this.

That cheap plasma's are advertising & marketing BS, IMHO.

heh, it wasnt cheap. And besides, it was just something i wanted to try. I didnt buy it FOR gaming.

feel free to post something that actually helps

1. zevia you're wrong, native resolution is 1024x768
2. gregtherotterius, using DVI/HDMI is only supported on a few TVs (mainly 1920x1080 ones), others use VGA.
3. Use VGA and you'll be fine. If you want better picture get a better TV.

I guess that depends on what spec layout you are looking at.

greg, was not personally meant, was just a general opinion.I have seen dudes buying Plasmas with res 800x600 for a big amount of money...couldnt believe that....

"Native resolution" shouldn't be dependent on the used coloursystem (PAL vs. NTSC).

least i didnt buy it :P my mom did. (im 20) . Um, so i'll get out of it what i can.

My bad about the res, I assumed that it used the same as 42".
