PC wont recognize 1080p tv via HDMI only 1360x768 ?

[Cxbxr_3]

I have a Acer Aspire REVO R3700-U3002 nettop PC w/ win 7 64bit & just got a new 1080p LED tv.
When i hook the PC up via VGA to the TV it displays correctly & wonderful, when i go into the Nvidia control panel it says native resolution is 1920x1080 & that is what the resolution is set to.. the problem though when hooking up via HDMI port on the PC to TV is the text is a little jaggy & pictures/videos arent as clear as VGA... i can see everything, its just not pretty & when i go into the Nvidia control panel it says native resolution is 1360x768.
when i try to change the resolution to 1920x1080 it just shrinks everything back to normal size but the quality is blah!

I am using a 6 year old but brand new never used 12ft hdmi cable.. Any suggestions ?

BTW I believe my video card is Nvidia Ion on board graphics.

You need to make sure it is a high speed HDMI cable that supports 1080P.

I've got 2 new (different brands) 6ft high-speed cables on the way, so i will let you know if it helps, but the 1360x768 unless they consider that 720p is not listed as one of the resolutions in the tv manual .

1080p - 1920×1080p: 2,073,600 pixels (~2.1 megapixels [Mpx]) per frame
1080i - typically either:
1920×1080i: 1,036,800 pixels (~1 Mpx) per field or 2,073,600 pixels (~2.1 Mpx) per frame
1440×1080i: 777,600 pixels (~0.8 Mpx) per field or 1,555,200 pixels (~1.6 Mpx) per frame
720p - 1280×720p: 921,600 pixels (~0.9 Mpx) per frame

So yeah, it would be closer to a 720P rate.

Tried one of the new cables that came in & no go.. My tv says it a 1080p but the Nvidia control panel says the native resolution is 1360x768 & i can tell something is missing i have it set to 1920x1080 but it dosent look right

What video card driver do you have? Make sure to get the latest one your card can use.

What model of TV are you using?

I have the latest drivers just updated & restarted no go, downloaded directly from nividia. Again when using vga cable it says the native resolution is 1920x1080 in the nvidia control panel & when i unplug vga & hook up hdmi is says native res. is 1360.768 in the control panel my tv says it is a 1080p connection but its obvious some pixels are missing my tv is this one http://www.tclusa.com/products/led/le40fhde3010/

It's either your board or the cable at fault.

I believe it to be the board as i have tried 4 different cables now all with the same result, plus ive had the pc for about 4 years & have never tried the hdmi port so thats where im leaning to, but just out of curiosity would a tv firmware update help ? but i dont want to brick my tv.

 

[huilun02]

I wouldn't risk it. Because it's not the prime suspect.
