    I hook up my laptop to my big screen and have found that 1080p @ 60hz produces a faint line of pixels in the center to be slightly brighter than the rest, If I go to 1080i at 30hz I don't get any more line, and CCC doesn't show up 1080p at 30hz, I was wondering if there is a mod for CCC that allows this or a way to make a custom setting for my tv?

    No answer here but 1080p@60hz sounds normal to me. I'm typing on a monitor that's doing the same, my laptop does the same, and when I hook it via HDMI to my plasma it's the same with no problems.

    Unfortunately my HDTV is couple years old now and when I bought it, it has based at 30hz 1080p, with a second processor chip to makes it 60 hz, but not true 60hz, so its creating a weird artifact in the form of one line in the middle of the screen that goes away when I set ccc to 1080i at 30hz. My ps3 runs 1080p fine without this line, video playback or game, and its slightly annoying that my pc produces this one line, I figure its because of the 60hz, so im wondering if theres a way to mod it down to 30hz ?

    daranik, Congrats on your new machine, best of luck with it. Is there a win 7 driver available for the TV (wild guess)?
    Also can you modifly the refesh rate from the TV?

    Hah thanks, a little misleading but I've had it since August of last year and am just finding this out about the display. While I've known about the line and seen it since I got the lappy, I have recently just figured out the cause messing around with CCC a couple nights ago. The TV is a sharp Aquos 52" HDTV. The TV will only accept changes in display from the output device (laptop in this case) so unfortunately I cannot say tell the tv to go to 720p, unless the lappy is outputting 720p.

    The Win7 driver has peaked my curiousity but I feel like this is something that would be handled with CCC and its driver for my GPU. both in Win7 or playing fullscreen game produces the same line. I narrowed it down to this by doing a few things, I rotated the laptop image around my screen with my tvs horizontal and vertical shifting options only to have that line planted square in the middle no matter what, and the second way was by getting the laptop to display 1080i at 30hz which the line went away.

    Also my ps3 does not display this line in either game or movie in 1080p, so I feel as if the ps3 is able to do 1080p @ 30hz. So my big question is can I get my video card to display 1080p @ 30hz?

    Thats not the back of my tv, the hdmi are on a different board , but regardless, I haven't used the dsub on my lappy to output, I prefer HDMI because of audio.

    Try the other options but VGA could create even more artifacts.

    You should definitely try some more software options. The 5850/5870 + CCC has proved to force some very strange modes which were incompatible with my TV, so it should be able to force some modes which are.

    Step 1 is to never use mirrored or extended desktop mode. Try 50hz.

    I use it as an individual monitor, meaning I dont have both the lappy monitor and the tv going at once. Was messing around in CCC again yesterday and anytime I tried to select 30hz it booted me to 1080i, I never though of trying 50hz and will try that when I get home and see if it boots me down to 1080i aswell

    So i was messing around on the tv again yesterday, and found out a few things. forcing the laptop to do 720p, 1080i, 1080p50, or 1080p24 all produced this line in the center. The only option that got rid of this line was an option call "optimized 1080p" and it instead of using 1920 X 1080, used 1100 or something to that effect. I thought to myself great its not that noticably different and I can deal with that, but woe is me the stupid CCC wont let me scale it to fill the screen..... im stuck with atleast 2 and a half inch frame of black around the screen..... Atleast the line isn't super noticable, I just wish I could find a way to get rid of this. Anyone have any other suggestions I should try out?

    I just wanted to post here one last time, I have finally got the line to go away, with much screwing around in CCC and display options. I ended up going to the display driver properties window, and under the monitor tab there I switched it to 59 hz and my tv likes that alot more than 60, no line, im happy and ready for lineless skyrim
