    Hi All,

    Recently purchased a notepad .. HP DV6785SE .. really nice notebook!

    I have a bit of a problem .. when I connect the HDMI out to my Samsung 40" LCD the output has the top/bottom and side cut off .. sort of like its zoomed in a tad. The picture is not distorted, it is crisp .. but not being able to see the Vista bar at the bottom and the icons on the left showing half the image etc is driving me nuts.

    The video card is NVidia 8400M GS with the drivers being 7.15.11.5665. I reinstalled the drivers from the HP website but no change. Some have mentioned to go the NVidia Control Panel under Video and Television and choose Resize HDTV Desktop but I do not have that option :(

    Any ideas or tips or hacked drivers for this notebook? Also, if I use the VGA or S-Video out (didnt try them yet) do you think it might also be clipped from the edges?
