Any way to run a lower resolution full screen on the Mitsubishi DLP's?
I run my TV at 1768x992 and it pretty much fills up the screen. I have used the Nvidia sliders in the past and the resolution is close enough to 1768x992 that I don't feel the need to run an obscure resolution like 1806x1006 (not real, I just made that up) or something along those lines. However, I have noticed that when I use a lower resolution in a game (like 1280x720 or so) it puts a small image in the center of the TV.

I would like to know if its possible to have a lower resolution fill up the screen, without having to worry about overscan issues. I remember on my old 24" monitor it would stretch the picture out to fill the whole screen if I wanted it to. Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or is this just inherent with DLP TV's?

Can't be done.

DLPs support only specific resolutions in 3D. You will see what happens if you run a game in 1650x1050...won't work.

If you have a smaller resolution the picture in 3D is appropriatly adjusted to fill the proper amount of screen. And you can't stretch it, or blow it up sadly.

damn I want to try 85hz shutters on this pj so bad. 120hz sucks imo.
720p 85hz still sounds better to me than 1080p wobulation checkerboard ;)

i played around with this a year ago- and if memory serves me correct- there are other supported full screen resolutions that the tv will use. check your models manual for supported PC resolutions.

The only resolution I've gotten to work, on mine, in fullscreen checkerboard format is 1280x1024. Better than 720p which is displayed with black bars all around the image. Really sucks. 1280x1024 still had the bars, but it's not as bad. I just play in full HD. I can't stand the black bars.

hey redman i have the same tv and i use the nvidia scaling in the control panel and adjust it to fit your entire screen and then when launching a game go to settings and use that resolution :) works for me

there is a bug on my computer that wont allow me to create a custom resolution with the sliders. the whole slider app is oversized and i cannot see the buttons. Just disable DWM.exe on your task manager and it will work just fine.

I know how to use the Nvidia control panel to resize the screen, what I am talking about is running a lower resolution but still having it full screen. It seems that it can't be done, oh well I was just curious.

The reason I was asking is that some graphically intensive games might not run well at high resolutions, so by running it at a much lower resolution (like 720p) the frame rates would increase enough so that you wouldn't have to buy a new video card. Obviously this isn't much of an issue for me as I just picked up a 480, but I am sure someone would benefit from this information.
