For a few days i have been trying to acheive a satisfactory connection to my 37″ lcd tv.
the tv manufacturer says to set the resolution to 1280 x 1024 which i have done.
I can only get my desktop to appear on my tv in full screen if i choose clone mode. If i try crt mode it changes to a narrow screen. But my main problem is viewing movies in full screen with either mode. Using windows media player or VLC i can view movies in 100% fullscreen on the laptop but i get black bands top and bottom on the tv. It is the same when using the BBCi player etc. When viewing a dvd in 16.9 setting from my dvd player i get no bands at all so would like the same.
I would really appreciate any tips on this.
many thanks, hope all this makes sense.Depending on how your connecting the nc10 to the tv (assuming vga with no adapters) there might be a setting on the TV to expand the display to fill the screen. Check to see if the tv has a way to change the display format/size of the vga signal.
Also, are there limitations with vga output size depending on the pc’s graphics? That is, can any pc/video card vga output display fullsize on the largest of TV’s, like yours at 37inch? There might be limitations as to the external displayed size depending on the pc’s video graphics. …Dunno[quote1231459760=RoadWarrior]Also, are there limitations with vga output size depending on the pc’s graphics?

It’s more likely to be the opposite way round, with VGA output being able to surpass (or at-least equal) the resolution of the TV. But the VGA input on the TV only being able to accept a lower resolution.For example from the specs it looks like the NC10 can output a maximum of 2048×1536 @ 75Hz, a 1080p HD TV runs at 1920×1080 @ 60Hz. Quite a few 1080p HD TV’s can only accept a maximum resolution of 1280×1024 @ 60Hz (or similar) via the VGA connection.
I’ll give mine a go tonight if possible. Mine’s a 1080p (and a Samsung), and I know the TV does 1920×1080 @ 60Hz.
From some initial things I’d read before buying the NC10 I thought it would only output 1024×600, but if it will do 1920×1080 that would be great.

The resolution that the NC10’s screen supports and the resolution that the onboard graphics supports, in this case the Intel GMA 950, will be two different things.NC10 screen: 1024 x 600 @ 60 Hz
Intel GMA 950: 2048 x 1536 @ 75 HzI plan on testing my NC10 tonight with my Sony KDL-32W4000, which can accept 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz over VGA, so will report back with my findings once tested.

It will be interesting to see what happens, have you made sure that the TV can accept 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz over VGA by testing with another computer?The manual for that TV appears to indicate the VGA connection will accept, at maximum a 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz signal.

Unfortunately for Sony, their manual is incorrect. I currently have my Xbox 360 connected to my TV over VGA with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz with no issues at all. Friends of mine, one with the same TV, are connected in the same way.More than likely will with the Sony as they often use Samsung panels and many of the recent Samsung 1080p support 1920×1080 (I know mine does from hooking up my big laptop).
Will be interesting to see how this performs playing back video on the TV as my laptop is very sluggish with video. It’s a good 3 or 4 years old though. The laptop is also very noisy, whereas the NC10 is dead quiet.
Well guess what? The highest resolution I can obtain when connecting my NC10 to my Sony TV is 1360 x 768 @ 60 Hz. I’m using Intel GMA 950 driver ver.6.14.10.4926.
Does anybody have any idea how this issue could be resolved? I don’t have any resolutions available within the Intel display settings higher than 1360 x 768.
Just to update. Hooked it up to my Samsung F71 (LE40F71BX) and can confirm it definitely offers and works in 1920×1080.
Even more surprising is that full screen video plays back flawlessly at this resolution. Tried up to 720p so far.
On my (supposedly more powerful) big laptop I find often video and audio stutters, especially when hooked up to the TV and more so when playing HD.
Beginning to think this could be quite a neat little media player! (especially as it’s so quiet)
Yes, 720p videos play fine: after i installed a free “K-Lite basic codec pack”, and using Windows Media Player 9.
I hooked up to my 19in LCD monitor (1440×900 resolution)….works fine, fullscreen and smooth!
Hooked up to my Olevia 26in HDTV (1366×768 res)…….720p, DVD files, they all work great!
Once you connect the VGA cable, the monitor’s appropriate resolution will show up on the Display setting screen!
