Please help me hook my computer up to my TV

[DerekMecca]

I have a 8800gts in my computer with DVI ports. I used a DVI-VGA adapter and hooked the computer up to the TV using the VGA cable. My computer does not have HDMI.

I'm getting an image on my TV and it's clear, but there are black borders on either side. I tried increasing the res to max, but the image becomes glitchy and I can't see anything. The option for 1080 isn't even on there anyway.

Is it even possible to increase the res of my computer up to 1080 and have it display correctly on my TV?

Any help is appreciated.

Get a DVI-HDMI adaptor (one came with my 8800GT).

DVI and HDMI are the same signal. You just need to match up the physical connectors.

Agreed with snowdog.

Your TV may not allow 1920x1080 via the VGA input, a lot of TV's have this limitation for some reason, so a dvi to hdmi cable would be needed. Or you can use a dvi-hdmi adapter coupled with an hdmi cable.

Your link is broken btw OP.
