    Here's the deal. I have a notebook (Compaq C710ed) which has integrated graphics, Intel GMA X3100. I am trying to hook it up with my LCD TV (through VGA) which has a native resolution of 1366*768. However, this resolution can't be chosen in the driver settings. The closest is 1280*720. This doesn't look as nice as it could and should. :mad:

    Does anyone know how I can solve this? Thanks. :)

    What version of drivers are you running?

    I'm not quite sure, I'm not able to look it up at the moment. However, some googling makes me believe installing another version of the drivers doesn't solve this problem.

    x3100 had problems with some resolution, some of them were fixed with driver updates. If you have an old driver, updating should fix it.

    Most TV's can't do 1366x768 at all since it is not dividable by 8.

    Try using 1360x768, most TV's 1366x768 TV's that can do 1:1 pixelmapping uses this res to do it.

    Hi Yenkaz,
    Don't have this option at Inte's driver. From 1280x768 go to 1400x1050.
    That's very strange. My old notebook have 1360, 1365 and 1366 with Intel driver and Nvidia driver. It's a SZ340 (GM945 and Nvidia; the old note).

    Regards.
