Howto get 1080p on SAMSUNG LCD TV

The method I've had the most success with (between OS X 10.5.6 and a Samsung LN52A650) is to set the TV to "Just Scan" (from the P.SIZE menu), the OS X display to "1920 x 1080 (interlaced)", and turning on overscan. It may not technically be 1080p, but it does fill the entire space and looks quite sharp. Has anyone else found these steps helpful?

On my mini I see an option 1920x1080, without the "interlaced". Your settings result in losing some of my screen e.g. my menu bar.

I'm surprised that straight 1920x1080, with no osx-overscan, and with "Just Scan" on the tv, does not do it. Logically sure sounds like it should. I originally expected quite sharp text & to use the (DLP) TV as a monitor. No luck, sigh.

Hi Signal64

How are you connected on your LNA650?

I wanted to add a new macmini to my my LN52A650 but am unsure which cables to use.
Thanks

Have a LN53A650, which cable connection are you using? Brand?

Wanted to connect a new mac mini to the LCD.


thanks

You need to use HDMI input 2. This can be set to use a PC/Mac sourced DVI signal.

"Input Names: When PC is selected as the source for HDMI2/DVI, some settings become greyed out. PC Input must be selected in HDMI2/DVI for optimal viewing of text..."

Help- I can't get 1920x1080(interlaced) resolution on my new Samsung LN52A560 from my Mac G5 10.4...the picture is very blurry. The picture is fine when I go down to 1600x900 and all of the lower resolutions...please advise, thanks much

Have a Samsung UN55B7000 (1080p capable) connected on HDMI1 with Mac Mini using DVI/HDMI cable (from monoprice.com) in 16:9 format and get black border around the screen, regardless of which 1920x1080 setting I select from the Mac Display Menu (show 10 setting). If I change the Mac option to Overscan and TV to Fit Wide, then it takes up the full screen ... but seems to be 1080i resolution (due to Overscan option on Mac I assume). Is there anyway to get to 1080p from Mac Mini? Suggestions?
