Different Panel in TV? - Can't get high resolution on PC

S0litaire

it sounds like if you can see the some of the boot on the TV (using the VGA connection)
It then jumps over to the DVI (HDMI) cable when windows starts (My machine does this).

Plug BOTH the VGA the DVI (HDMI) cable in to the same screen and see if it boots normally, then you can use the display properties to see what screen (VGI or DVI) is used after boot...

Hi guys

Quick update. My old dear bought one over the weekend so I got her to bring it around and surprise surprise it has the option for 1920 x 1080 straight away unlike my one so I KNOW it's not the PC.

However it still wouldn't display the 1920x1080 resolution - the screen flicked on and off a couple of times BUT it would happily display 1600 x 1080 (or similar) - my mum won't use it as a monitor anyway so she will keep that one (although I personally thing she should change it).

Right now to try and sort my one out fingers X

Thanks for your suggestions/advice - much appreciated.
