V as in Via, go figure you'd have problems with any
brand of board! Now if you 
had bought the A7N instead we would not be having this
conversation.

Asus may not be perfect but have made way more good
products than bad. Enough to 
be considered a safe choice as one of the top
manufacturers IMHO.

wrong.
 
 I had problems such as this with an Asus A7V333 on a
non server board as

Sounds to me like the TV does not report back it's
video modes correctly or you 
are not loading a monitor device driver that reports
them. Any desktop setting 
above a display device's detected max gets rendered in
a pan  scan view port 
the size of the detected max display resolution.

 I've dealt with similar issues and found that with
many video 
 cards and tv's, the only way to fix this is
spending hours 
 using powerstrip to hand tune and 
 tweak video card output. Yes, this sucks but is
often 
 necessary to get everything perfect or as close to
perfect as 
 the tv and video card combo allows.

 Well, I am lucky that I already have perfect with
nVidia. Doesn't look good
 for ATI! 1920x1080 HDTV. Advertised 1920x1080
support by ATI. Seems like a
 no-brainer that it should work out of the box like
the nVidia video does.
 I have always purchased ATI, but will be looking at
nVidia in the future.

The HDTV displays correctly at 1920x1080 with an onboard nVidia card on
another computer. Would that indicate that the HDTV is reporting correctly?
Or is it the HDTV/Video Card combinations? Still doesn't make sense to me
that the ATI card is marketed as an HDTV card capable of 1920x1080 and
doesn't work while the cheap onboard nVidia video works without any
issues.

Thanks for the reply. I'm Still confused on where to look in the Catalyst
Control Center to allow the 1920x1080 display without panning.

Capable I assume is true as long as the display
detects properly.

As to the TV advertising it's capabilities correctly
or not, nvidia vs. ati 
detecting better, shades of grey argument if you're
relying on PnP/autodetect 
vs. manually loading a driver for the TV.

In Catalyst's display properties for the the TV what
is the maximum resolution  
display name? If that's not right you need a monitor
driver to fix it IMHO since 
DDC is failing for some reason.
