I'm trying to connect my white macbook to a samsun 40'' LED tv with mini-dvi > HDMI. My tv doesn't display properly even if i tried using the highest resolution. The top part (ie. file,edit,etc) is way off the tv screen. I tried lower the resolution down but it's not working. Then i un-click the over scan and it leaves black edges on all four corner. Anyone how to set it so my TV display proerply?
Got a tip for us?

Make sure you're TV is set to "Just Scan" instead of 16:9 as the picture size. With the Samsung remote you can cycle through these settings, they usually go 4:3-->Just Scan-->16:9-->Zoom1-->Zoom2, or something like that.
Some TV's wont output properly on the screen unless you use the VGA port, because when you use the VGA port the TV detects it as a computer and fits it properly on the screen.
Otherwise try playing around the settings on your TV see if you find a PC mode or something.
My TV grays out the PC mode options unless i plug it by VGA. But with HDMI it cuts a little bit at the top and the bottom.
HDMI does not allow the TV to detect it as a computer on some HDTV's.

I have a Samsung, UE40B6000/A, series 6, 40″ Box Set in Rose Black, and I don't have any problems. The good news is the price is started to come down.
