Hopefully I can explain this properly.
I'm having an issue with video. Ever since i upgraded to a gtx 660 ti when returning from sleep the resolution seems to change.
I keep having to "resize" the desktop slightly.
Its fine returning from games, or anything else seems to be fine...but everytime my monitor goes into sleep and I wake it, the screen is wrong. Either it will have black bars all the way around the screen, or it will be too large for the screen.
Its easily fixed using the resize button in the nvidia control panel, but its getting old.

The system was freshly formatted when I upgraded.
I've tried uninstalling drivers and re-installing using the latest versions to no avail.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Take a look at the scaling options in your control panel. Set it to GPU scaling.

This is one of the reasons it's usually a pain in the butt to have a TV as your main display. :)
 
I tried every available scaling option and still having this same problem.
It was never an issue using an AMD card, this only started when i switched to Nvidia.
I find it difficult to believe Nvidia can't handle a tv as a monitor, but AMD can. This is what you've said here based on my experience with my previous AMD cards, again it was never an issue until this 660TI
