    Hello all, new to the forums and am having problems with the output from my M11xr2 HDMI port, I am trying to connect the machine to my 32" widescreen TV through a HDMI cable and i cannot get the settings right, most of the time I get the desktop on the TV but it is very small and around the screen is black bars :/ I'm getting fed up now... :/

    please any help will be appreciated!

    Two options here...
    1: If your TV supports it adjust the overscan setting in your TV options menu.

    2: |Right click on your desktop, click 'Graphics properties', assuming your resolution is set right you should see and option for scaling the image. Adjust the sliders for H and V until it fits you screen correctly. You will need to click apply for any changes to take effect...
