    I'm hooking my laptop up to my TV through the Displayport adapter. It cuts off a little bit of the sides of the screen when I output at 1080p, but other devices that output at 1080p are fine on my TV (like my PS3). Is anyone else having this issue? I can't find any options to fix this. The NVIDIA control panel lets you resize the screen, but it literally lowers the resolution to be able to fit into my TV.
