[SOLVED] tv resolution on radeon graphics

[snakepit92]

Hi, hi have a led jvc tv, full hd.
i connected it via vga but it doesn't show me the full hd resolution in the windows options...(1024 x768 only works)...i have an integrated gpu vega 8 (ryzen).
ALso tried via hdmi but when connected it shows the image chopped , the image is bigger than the monitor .

Have you tried right clicking on the desktop > display settings > and changed the resolution to your desired size? VGA should support higher than 1024 x 768.

Vga inputs on TV's is usually resolution limited as you have found. Look in the TV menu for resolution scaling options, most have an option such as over scanning to correct the image size received.

The graphics card software will have scaling options as well for digital displays. Between TV menu options and Radeon software, it'll be possible to correct the image border.

 

[snakepit92]

yes but the highest resolution is 1440 x 900.

the tv display option only are 16:9 and zoom...and on radeon catalyst y tried a custom full hd setting but says that the tv doesnt support it.

Are you sure it's a full HD Tv and not a HD ready TV?
Can you give us the model number?

 

[snakepit92]

yes, its a lt24dr530 jvc full hd digital tv

Look in the TV menu thoroughly under video settings. If it's got scaling options, it wont be simply adjusted by aspect ratio button on the remote.

 

[snakepit92]

i don t have the remote control
the only option that the tv has are : auto adjust, h and v postion, phase and clock

 

[boju]

Where's the remote? If TV has additional settings, you'll need the remote to access those. TV buttons are limited.

 

[snakepit92]

Its a second hand tv...didn't came with the remote

 

[boju]

Try adjust scaling in Amd software then. If not, the remote is needed to explore more options in the TV for further adjustments.

 

[snakepit92]

i tried adjusting scaling on amd but it says that the full hd format is not supported-

 

[snakepit92]

its akward, with the hdmi connection i get full hd but the image is chopped

Describe Chopped please,
The TV should be display 1080P.

Getting a tv and computer to talk nice can be a challange sometimes. A trick I've tried in the past is setting the resolution of the tv and the computer to the same apart from each other and then connecting them and going from there. I did this with a gaming console and set the resolution to something I knew the computer could recognize and then re connected the pc and tv. Got a screen I would work with and adjusted the resolution further from there.
Also a universal remote might be your only option depending on if you can get it to work or not.

in hdmi mode the image doesn't fit in the tv...the image is larger than the tv and i cant see part of the bottom toolbar...with vga i reached the max resolution 1440x900

If you connect via HDMI, are there any settings relating to scaling, or maybe referred to as hdmi overscan/underscan? In either AMD settings or TV settings.

VGA doesn't have a standardized way for the TV to tell the video card what resolutions and refresh rates it's capable of. So video cards tend to be very conservative in their settings when you connect via VGA. This is because back in the CRT days, you could destroy a monitor by trying to drive it faster or at a higher resolution than it was capable of. That can't happen with LCD monitors, but this overcautious attitude persists.

You can manually hack the settings, but I don't recommend this as it's extraordinarily difficult to get exactly right. Monitors with VGA input frequently came with "drivers" that you'd install on the computer. The "drivers" were just a list of supported resolutions, refresh rates, and clock timings so the video card would know what the monitor was capable of. But if you really want to try, AMD lets you do it.

You are usually much better off using HDMI.

ALso tried via hdmi but when connected it shows the image chopped , the image is bigger than the monitor .

That's called overscan. It too is a relic of the past which persists today.

When hooking up a TV to a computer, you need to disable overscan. Unfortunately, every TV manufacturer has a different name for it and does it a different way. All the info I could find on your TV model was in Spanish, so I couldn't find a definitive way to fix it on your TV. You can try these generic JVC instructions I found. Although some other info I found says not all JVC TVs have a way to disable overscan.

https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-fix-the-resolution-on-a-jvc-tv

Your video card settings should have a way to tweak its output to cancel out overscan. But it's not the best way to do it, and should be used only as a last resort if the TV doesn't support disabling overscan.
