    Been a while since visited but could use a link to a guide for setting up TV out with the Envy 15. I have a JVC 55 inch WS HD D-ILA that will do up to 1080 and I'd like to figure out how to get a decent image from the laptop to the TV.

    When I hook up an HDMI cable to the laptop and TV then the resolution switches down to 640x480 on both the laptop and tv. I tried to pull up the display control panel but it would only give me the 640 option. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong just not sure what. I know my drivers are a bit out of date so was going to update them and could use advice on how to best do that as well since they now do a unified driver from ATI and I had not tried installing anything recently. Do I just download the main driver from AMD's site or is there a different driver install I should download to install the latest vid drivers?

    Thanks in advance
