Well, I have a strange problem with my secondary display. I have two montiors hooked up to my computer, a 19 in LCD (main monitor) and a 32 in Samsung HDTV (secondary monitor). Now, I have recently hooked up my Samsung to my computer with a DVI to HDMI cord, but when I select the TV's native resolution, it downscales the image so that it has black bars around all sides. I've hooked my computer up to that TV before with a VGA cord, and never had a problem with resolution. Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening?
Oh, and one more question. How come my 2 year old 19in 6 bit TN LCD monitor has less color banding than my 8 bit Samsung HDTV? I noticed this when I looked at desktop background on both displays. Areas where the color gradient looks smooth on my 19 in, exhibit distinct color banding on my Samsung. I find this strange since my TV should be able to display more colors (I did select 32 bit color in the display options) and have an overall better picture quality.
Edit: My graphics card is an 8800 so it is HDCP comliant.
