Ok i just put together my HTPC and i have it hooked up to a 50 inch LG 1080P TV through HDMI and when i set the resolution to 1920x1080P it comes up but the edges of the screen are cut off. ive googled around and this is called overscaling. I couldnt find any good fixes. anyone have any recommendations?

Had the same prob a week ago LH40... Go to ATI catalyst or your graphics card option >Desktopdisplays/rightclick display thats detected>click configure>Scaling options tab... and slide it towards underscan until it fits your screen correctly... fast and easy:rockout:

Wrong i have scaling issue's with DX10. And i don't believe Mussels got his issue solved either and he has a thread about it some were lol..

Make sure the TV is set to Native and not some thing like wide \ natural. I'm going by options that come with my Toshiba which yours are likely be called some thing else.

if that is a very old DVI adaptor new cards don't like these older adaptors and can cause issues like overscan

The options grayed out for some reason. You should try to install new drivers.

TV is set on native and auto ratio

This adaptor is new that came with my GTX 285.

Hey Brandon, this is the card i traded to you doing this? I never had the issue and I plugged it into a 32" and a 46". Hmmm... The cable I was using was a high quality DVI to HDMI cable. I could send it to you if you paid shipping.. I have no use for it. But I never had any issues playing on big screens... maybe a driver issue?
