Question Help with Overscan or poor Graphics

[chobe]

Still using Win 7 (WMC diehard) with TV as monitor. When I boot to bios, I am unable to see the entire bios config screen - stands to reason because no video drivers are installed as yet. But this problem exists with Windows functionality as well after drivers have loaded. Only way I can see a full Windows screen is to change aspect ratio in Nvidia App and I am assuming this is a issue with TV's overscan.

It's very difficult to change these setting (should I lose saved configuration) 'cause can't see task bar much less any links to video control panel etc.

What's the best way to resolve? I will be upgrading TV's soon, but don't want but will I also have to upgrade video on PC with dedicated video card providing more and wider range of resolution settings? Not sure which way to go!

Thanks for your support!

Have you looked in the TV menu settings for overscan or aspect ratio related settings?

Make and model of the TV you're using as well as the discrete GPU you're on for your platform? How are you paired with said GPU. It'd help us two fold if you included the rest of your system's specs as well.

Are you on the last update for Windows 7 or the non SP1 version? Please state the version of Nvidia's drivers that you're on. I'd also ask you to source a monitor as opposed to a TV, to get the settings dialed in for good. Latest BIOS update for your motherboard?
