    Install better video drivers than the W7 ones. I like those
    From my experience, W7 drivers don't really work well, especially with hdmi.

    No, the vista drivers work on 7.

    I'm using these on 7077 X64 and an external 1080p monitor with HDMI.

    ok well i just treid it and it's nto giving my full resolution -_- it's only giving me 1280x720 instead of the 1366x768 that my alptop is set up to so care to explain this one?

    Edit: NO luck with using this driver my TV's not even noticed so that added on with the fact that i have no higher res than 1280x720 and that it looks weird on top of that. I may end up saying goodbye to hte lovely 7 build 7077. -_-

    Your laptop is locked at 1280x720 even though it has a 1366x768 screen? Always or only when TV connected?
