This seemed like the best forum to post this question because it's about television. I currently have my laptop connected to my TV using VGA. No matter what resolution I select on the laptop, the image will not fill the entire TV screen. Depending on the resolution I choose, either it shows up 4:3 with black bars on the sides, or letter boxed inside that 4:3 area, so there is black all around. Yet when I play a wide scree DVD on my set-top DVD player, it automatically fills the entire screen with no black bars. I don't have to change any settings on my DVD player or TV for that to happen. How can I get my computer's desktop to fill the entire screen? Is this a limitation of VGA? Would using HDMI correct this? My laptop doesn't have HDMI, otherwise that's what I'd be using, but when I get an HTPC, I'm sure it will have HDMI.
For those of you who use MC15 to play DVD's on your television, how do they look? If I can't get a widescreen DVD to fill the entire display, I may as well continue using my set-top player. I hope there is a way to do it with a PC though.
