Attaching a HDTV to the Mobile 965 chipset

[idata]

Hi folks.

I'm running Win 7 64-bit on a Toshiba Equium laptop. I have a Sharp Aquos 20 in HDTV connected as a secondary monitor, for watching film etc.

Problem is that, although the Intel software (and I have the latest version) recognises the resolution of the screen & is outputting it fine, but it only sees the monitor as a Generic P & P Monitor, so I get the picture squashed up in the middle of the screen. There doesn't seem to be a driver for the TV and nothing I try (uninstalling the monitor etc) will get it recognised as a TV.

The TV is plugged into the VGA output of the laptop & I'm running it as an extended desktop.

Funny thing is, it worked fine on Vista!

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Cheers.

Does changing the screen resolution for the TV display in the display properties do nothing?

Right Click on desktop -> Screen Resolution

Chose the TV, change resolution

If that doesn't help, try the Advanced settings button on the same screen, choose the TV and set the refresh rate up/down a little. (Careful, don't push it up too much)

Yup! That'd work fine if the Intel Graphics utility would allow me to select anything other than 60Hz as the refresh rate.

OK, got an answer from th Sharp TV forum that enabled me to sort it!

Apparently there's a 'hidden' menu on the TV that allows you to select the display mode.

Sorted! Thanks
