I have now officially moved. One of the things I needed to do was incorporate my PC into my standard TV set up.
Colour me converted!
My laptop is connected to a 50" Panasonic plasma via an HDMI connection. My keyboard and mouse are wireless and across the room from the laptop/monitor.
Which means I just typed this from my couch and am reading a HUGE sandbox page on TV. Tres cool!
I have only one complaint. I have set the recommended screen resolution at 1280 x 720. Too big! This resolution overfills the TV screen. However, I'd say the image is over-sized by maybe 5 or 10%. That means things like the bottom taskbar is cut in half. That same dynamic applies to the whole image.
If I set it to the next highest resolution of 1280 x 768 the screen shrinks to about 2/3 the available size. Too small!
Any ideas to maximize BOTH resolution and screen size?
