for what it's worth, i didnt buy the Mac Mini for the purposes of using it as a media PC or for displaying stuff on my TV. I used it for iPad s/w development, then after finishing my product, had no other use for it...figured i'd try to use it for browsing the ol' web on TV, which actually works quite nicely. while at it, i hoped i could play a few games with my wife, and she likes those Big Fish games -- hidden find games ,etc. That's where I went down the rabbit hole in this thread.
Nontheless, it's not the Mac Mini's fault it doesnt offer scaling on my TV... because like I said, if I use the Mac Mini booted in OSX, it does indeed scale up the display when playing games. It's just when using it in dual boot under Win 7 that it doesn't allow for it. Not a hardware issue - its a driver issue. Also, why don't I just use in under OSX then you may ask... well, because I like Win 7 WAYYYYY better than using OSX, but everything else in Win 7 is much nicer than under OSX (in my opinion at least).
