2010 Macbook Pro connected to HDTV, screen cut off?

[Alaskanmac]

I have a 2010 Macbook pro and I just ordered a minidisplayport to HDMI cord. I was able to get it all set up to my Sylvania 22" HDTV HERE but I can't seem to get the resolution right.

I've tried multiple resolutions both via the control panel and NVidia's control panel. Keep in mind I'm running Windows 7 via bootcamp.

I'm able to get the resolution to look pretty clear, but by doing so it cuts off the edges of the screen, where as if I get it so it all shows up on the screen, it doesn't look as clear. Any ideas?

What resolutions did you try?

1366 x 768 is the native resolution of the TV btw.

Try the overscan setting.

Tried that already, screen's still all cut off

Try the overscan setting.

What's That?

From personal experience, the overscan setting leaves large borders around the desktop. I managed to get it do display fully (using a completely different Mini-DP to HDMI adapter) by changing the aspect ratio of the TV from 16:9 to a 1:1 pixel setting. Not all TVs have it but it should do what you want if yours does.
