    So I hooked my 1330 up to my plasma and got the video to switch over pretty easy. Only 2 issues. the bottom and edges are cut off slightly and I don't see a way to fit it to screen size. Second and more importantly the sound isn't transmitting via the HDMI, do you have to change a setting to hear it?

    I think you can play around with the nVidia or the Display Card Settings to adjust the video output.... And as far as the sound I think you need to choose HDMI somewhere (I saw someone mentioning in another thread a week or so ago) in the Sigmatel Sound properties...

    right click on the Speaker in your task bar near the clock, select playback devices, then select HDMI as your default

    the cropping issue is still a mystery to me, if your plasma has it, try setting it to pixel-by-pixel or just mode

    Just disable overscan (equals activation of pixel-to-pixel mapping) at your TV and you're all set.

    As long as your TV supports that option of course. Otherwise you're screwed.
