I have a stock 1210 that I am using to stream video to my television. The problem I am having is that when I do it I either have 4:3 on the tv with a blank on either side and black top and bottom in a smaller 16:9 of the picture or in 16:9 mode it stretches the picture.The Tv will not zoom in the mode that the pc is using so I can't get the tv to fill with the picture. the computer is very limited in options to take care of it from the options menu. Is there a graphics upgrade that will give me more options to remedy this? I have a Samsumg hdt4254 Plasma tv. thanks

The only two option available are 800x600 and 1024x768, either does no good. I also have an option in graphics properties called Intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile that has a few options but again do no good. Is there an after market program that will give me more options?
