I think I now understand what the OP is saying - I've believe I've experienced this same problem with a single monitor setup. When I attach my Sony Bravia HDTV directly to my GPU using HDMI, somewhere, something downscales the resolution to about 1/4 of what it should be. All indications in FSX and windows control panel (and the signal being received by the HDTV indicate it's in 1920X1080), yet the image on the screen is far less.

 

In my normal setup, I route the HDMI to a Sony 3.1 sound system, then daisy chain to the monitor via HDMI and this works perfectly. On the PC, the device shows up as AVAMP (not Sony Bravia) and I have no difficulties. Direct connect to the TV and it's completely messed up. I have never been able to resolve this. I suspect it may be some for of downscaling of the HDMI stream for Piracy protection that Sony, NVidia or MS has implemented. Samsung too?

 

 

is that mean there is no fix ??????/

OK, in the nvidia control panel, are there not resolution definitions for the screens?

 

I may be totally wrong here, but surely it is possible to have different resolution monitors attached..

 

 

yes, i am not home right now, and when i coming back i will play on the NVIDIA control panel and post what i got.....

is that mean there is no fix ??????/

 

First, it's not clear that your problem is even the same as what I had. Second, I didn't spend a lot of time trying to fix it because in my normal set-up, with the sound bar in between, I don't have the problem - so just because I never found a fix doesn't mean there isn't one! 

 

One other thing, does your Samsung have a 'gaming' mode? If so, you should be using that setting.

 

Found an interesting thread on another forum that might help you:

I found this piece of advice on a different forum - specific to using Samsung HDTV with HDMI to PC:

 

The problem is with the type of signal being sent from/to the monitor. When your input is named/set to PC it sends the signal at a different frequency/power level. This will effect the quality of the image. I had the same exact issue when I switched over.

My resolution was to change the input/name to PC and turn overscan all the way up. My monitor looks perfect now. Just for reference I have a Samsung 2333hd and by setting the "hdmi" input value to "pc" the "blurriness" issue was immediately fixed. Turning overscan all the way up (0%) fixed the border issue.

 

To state this differently so that future readers fully understand:  If you are getting over-exposed, blurry text, generally bad images from your PC to your HDTV, go into the settings for sources and literally CHANGE THE NAME TO "PC" on that source, or a PC equivalent, and the TV will recognize this and change the way it processes the signal. Boom. Perfect image. Do not believe people that say TV's are not as good as PC Monitors - there are SOME things they are better at (sometimes refresh rate, black to black and grey to grey stuff, etc.) but having a terrible picture is not one of the weaknesses of a TV.


Hope that helps. I know how annoying it is to search and search forever and not find a resolution. At least this may help someone searching down the road!

fine, but what should i do to the overscan and how ?

I've done that, thanks so much for the responses and help.
