    Just go done building a new computer and i go to hook my computer up to my tv like i always do so i can watch movies and i hook it up to the dvi port on my 9800 gt and attach the dvi to hdmi adapter on to the dvi port and plug it up to my tv through my hdmi cord and it looks like shit! its all off the screen like its bigger than the tv screen its self so i change some settings and just cant get it to work.So can anybody help

    Here's What I Know

    My Tv - http://tinyurl.com/98qlxx

    My Tv's Max Resolution - 1366x768

    Also when i hook up my computer to my tv via dvi to vga adapter it fits the screen.

    P.S. i know that its not going to look as good on the tv due to the pixel depth but thats not my problem its just that its off the screen,Just said that to not cause confusion.

    Anything elese you need to know just ask.

    My first thought is that your TV is overscanning due to the signal that is being sent from PC to TV. you can have 'over', and 'under' scanning problems. what is the resolution you are sending to your TV. Also, if it's dual DV-I, wont that be 1080?? the TV doesnt 'number crunch'??- like a lot of projectors ive been finding out. so, if you are sending a 1080 signal that cant be crunched by your TV, im guessing that you may have a problem there???
    Sorry its not a solution, but maybe the observation may start to help you sort your problem out..... good luck!
