    Hi,

    We recently got a new LG hdtv and my girlfriend wanted to hook up her inspiron 1525 to it to watch movies. She did this while i was gone, and had it all working fine. Then she unplugged and reconnected it, and the computer did not show up on the TV. I went to the Intel Graphics task bar and enabled "notebook+digital tv" as the output, and this made it show up on both the computer and the tv, but the video on the tv is in a smaller resolution. The picture is small on the tv, but before when she did not choose anything and it automatically showed up on the tv, the resolution was fine and the picture took up the whole screen. Does anyone know how i get back to the full screen on the television? I changed the resolution sizes in the "personalization" control panel (im a mac guy and dont have much experience with windows) but couldnt get it to take up the whole screen. Thanks
