    I am having a hard time with adjusting the resolution on Battlefield 3 when I hook up my MX11 to my HDTV.

    I play BF3 on 720p normally. When hooked up to my tv, BF3 auto sets at 1080p and when I set it back 720p, the entire screen gets minimized. In other words, I can't get fullscreen at 720p. I have to revert to 1080p to have the image fill the entire screen. My tv is native 1080p....


    Any suggestions to fix this issue?

    Have you tired to play it in "Windowed mode"?

    ALT+ENTER.

    I have hooked up my m11xR2 to my 1080P tv and it works fine.

    I play in windowed mode cuz I shrink the screen a little so I get better FPS.

    You didn't specify if you have an R2 or R3. So I am not sure if an R3 plays a lot better in fullscreen mode.
