    Have you tried changing the refresh rate? Not sure about the technical side of it, but it has worked for me before, although it was with a different computer.

    If you still using the original NVidia driver (not the beta) then once connected to your HDMI TV go into the Graphics options & HDTV compensation settings to alter the horizontal & vertical scaling. Had to do this with my Panasonic.

    The latest beta driver doesn't do this correctly, and actually changed the screen resolution.

    Think option only shows when you have the HDMI connection in use.

    thanx for the replies guys ... yes i did tried the refresh rate and both is 60hz ... i tried the WHQL drive 180.xxx and the beta driver 190.xxx and both gave me the same problem. psikey where do a find this compensation menu? cause i dont remenber seeing this for HDMI only CRT.

    im trying to found out about m11x nvidia drivers overscan ... but seems that a very few ppl have this problem

    i found this http://hd.engadget.com/2010/05/27/hd-101-overscan-and-why-all-tvs-do-it/

    but i bet that i can fix try nvidia driver, is there any fix tool from nvidia??

    cause i got a HTPC on the same TV using a 9600GT ECO from Zotac using the lastest nvidia driver and works fine in full hd without any overscan

    thanx

    Hi ,
    I am not too sure if this will help, but it did help me fix the exact same problem on my desktop computer when i trying connecting it to my Panasonic 42 Full HD Plasma screen , after i connected the computer to the TV , the screen was cut from all the sides . Even when going to Nvidia Control Panal it wont help you Resize the screen to match your TV. so here is what i did :

    1 - On your desktop Click on the right mouse butten and then click on Personoliz , from there go to Display and then change the screen size to 100% ( this will make the txt and every other content in the screen fit to 100% size.

    2- Your computer will log off and log in . once done go back to Nvidia Control Panal and Re-Size ur screen angles and play with the resolution the way you want.

    3 ( Optional ) once you re-sized your screen you can go back to step 1 and increase the size to 150% and it will work fine.

    Hope this will sove ur issue.

    Cheerz
