    Hey guys..

    I have recently discovered a problem with my new Nexus A15, when I try to connect it to my Panasonic Viera 32" HD LCD-TV.
    The issue happens when I connect my laptop to my TV with a HDMI and tries to change the resolution on my TV to a more suitable one, instead of 1280x720 it changes to by default. But it's here the problem occurs since I can't change the resolution through NVIDIA control panel. It simply won't go higher.. I can change it to 960x600 and 800x600, but I don't suppose it would work. Another issue is that my TV won't change into 1080p when connected to my laptop, just as the resolution won't, eventhough it stands as an option and changes back to 720p (default) when clicked on. I'm sure that my TV is able to handle 1080p since it works when connected to a Playstation 3.
    To be more specific i have a:
    Nvidia 9650M GT, with the newest driver from Nvidia (179.28 I guess)

    Please don't judge me to harsh, if the solution is simple, as I don't have to much experience within this subject.
    Thanks in advance! It's going to be nice to watch movies in a better quality :)

    You should check out the actual resolution of you TV's panel and try to feed that resolution into it.

    For example, i have a Panasonic too, a 42PX80 which is a HD Ready plasma model. It's actual resolution is 1024 x 768. It can accept higher ones too, but so far the native looks the best on it.

    Alas, if your TV is a HD Ready too, then it doesn't matter much if you try to insert 1080p material into it or 720p. It will scale down to 720p even if it can accept 1080p.
