So I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I'm kind of in a panic.
I've been using a 1920x1080 Polaroid TV as my monitor since my last one crapped out, and it's worked fine. I've been using the thick olde monitor cables up until now because we didn't have a spare HDMI, which worked for me. Tonight I shut down the PC, went out, and when I came back was greeted to a ig black screen with UNSUPPORTED" on it. I tried safe mode, lowering the resolution and restarting, same thing. So I went and took the HDMI cable we use for our PS3 and it (sort of) worked, except the picture doesn't fit the screen anymore and everything looks like overly sharpened ass. Tried plugging them both in, and the PC now thinks I have two monitors.. but when I switch to the VGA one suddenly everything is fine again.. only I can now move my mouse off the screen because it thinks I have another monitor beside it.
I'm seriously at a loss here, guys. I plan to get a new monitor soon, but is there any way I can fix this so I can either go back to using my VGA cables, or somehow fix the picture with HDMI?
