hi, i got a problem which id rather ask about before i try to fix it myself. i dont know if it will hurt the tv so thats why id rather ask. so heres my problem. i got a sony HDTV, and i tried to hook my computer up to it last night to watch some movies i have on my comp, and i was bored n wanted to see what it looked like. my tv has a DVI port in the back so i was like sweet! i hooked everything up. booted my computer the bios looked fine. i could see everything nothing looked chopped off. but as soon as it went into windows the screen was like cropped. i could only see half the start bar and not the full desktop. and everything was big because of the low resolution *600x480? i think* i went into display properties to fix it but it wont let me change the resolution. and im not sure that would have fixed it. what do i need to do to fix it? its a 47" widescreen. thank you for your help n time
 
Find out what the native resolution of the tv is first.

Then download Powerstrip and make the custom res.
