    I'm trying to use my Samsung 46" LCD TV as a monitor. When I connect to my dv6t's HDMI out, the picture is chopped equally on all sides. I would guesstimate I am missing about 50 pixels from each of the four sides. Every other device I feed to my TV via HDMI works just fine (PS3, Cable, DVD player). I looked around on my PC and on this forum, but can't find a way to make the screen fit perfectly. Any ideas? Is nobody else running into this?

    Edit: I guess it's really not chopped equally. The sides seems a little more chopped off than the top and bottom.

    I figured it out.

    Open Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel
    General Settings
    Choose Customize Aspect Ratio
    For my paticular case....
    Horizontal Scaling = 50
    Vertical Scaling = 45
