    I finally got a display port to HDMI cable for my M15x so I could buy and use an external monitor. When the cable arrived I hooked it up to my t.v. and the image is stretched past the border of the screen. I dismissed the issue thinking it was something with the tv but my new monitor just came and I'm having the same issue. The image on screen is stretched just past the borders of my screen all the way around to he point where I can only see half of the task bar and about 1/4 of the start menu. Any advice here? I figure this is a general question so I posted it in the main forum. Thanks.

    issue resolved. If you run into this issue make sure to change your monitor to PC instead of AV. I thought this was an issue with the computer because it happened on 2 displays. Why it happened on my tv is yet to be seen but my monitor is setup and looks great. Samsung PX2370, highly recommended for a TN panel.
