HDTV Resolution Problem

I am connecting a desktop with a Radeon X1550 graphics card via DVI - HDMI to my 1080p screen but when the tv receives the video signal at 1080p it crops from all sides and looks very bad I cant see the complete desktop... I also can't see the bios screen at start up or any of the loading only start receiving video at login.

Sorry for posting in this forums, but you are people I know and trust; any help would be appreciated as soon as possible.

 

Receiving video at login is normal; it should be only recieving video once the OS actually starts.

As for the main problem, your tv's display is set to "widescreen" instead of "fullscreen." Change to fullscreen and your problem is solved

 

Yeah I was actually trying to find those setting in my tv but to no avail... What am I going to do now...

 

What company/model is your tv?

 

Mitsubishi 1080p DLP either C, 735, 736, 835 series slightly uncertain reading the manual at the moment...

 

This is completely crazy the TV cant display my computer correctly and it even says in the manual... The 1080p resolution will appear zoomed in the tv and the reduced counterpart of the same resolution will appear with boarders... Not even worth it talking about the other resolutions...

Completely ridiculous, what is the reason for the 1080p output of my computer not being displayed correctly in the computer though?

 

It for sure has to be something in your picture settings, that's what was wrong for me first time hooking my girlfriends laptop to my HDTV

 

I'm going to go try powerstrip to eliminate the overscan of the picture; I hope I don't mess up the DLP and get kicked out of the house

 

Well after a couple of readings I have noticed that powerstrip is the way to go; I don't have any monitor that will allow me to try the setting before connecting to the DLP so I guess I'm going to have to proceed with extreme caution.
