Problems with mini and 1366*768 lcd tv
I have tried connecting with a VGA-DVI adapter, and with DVI-HDMI, but neither has worked as it should.
DVI-HDMI: After turning off overscan I got a 1280*720 image that was offset towards the top left of my screen. I thought that the TV should recognize 720p and scale it up to my tv's native resolution like it did when I tested 720p from a friends Denon DVD-player, but it didn't. I tried experimenting with the timings using displayconfigx, but still no luck. I managed to get a picture that covered the whole screen, but with overscan, and after dcx was installed, the option to remove overscan was gone. The home page says that to shrink the image I should increase porches and decrease active area, but won't this give me an image with a lower resolution that 1280*720? What can be the difference between 720p from the Denon and from the Mini that makes my TV not understand it? Is the overscan coming from my TV or from the Mac?
VGA: When I connect this way the whole screen is filled when I see the boot screen (apple logo on white background), but suddenly the tv goes blank and says "out of range". I tried to use dcx here too. I chose a "conservative" 1280*1024 setting with timing parameters from my tv's manual, but the same thing happened. No matter what resolution I choose, the TV always complaints that the signal is out of range. When I tried to connect my Dell laptop to my tv it worked at once. Even if I removed all available resolutions except the one I setup in dcx, the same thing happened.
I'm getting really really frustrated with these problems, and I hope someone can point me in the direction of a solution.
Take care.
