[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 469011, member: 26695"] I am having trouble too. It wasn't so bad when I was using my TV as extended desktop but I went to plug my PowerMac into it and it's so messed up. I tried every single resolution and it cut off the top and bottom of the desktop. (800x600 stretched to 1920x1080 and everything inbetween) I couldn't see anything above the HD icon or anything below the tips of the dock if I have it at full magnification. I do not know about side to side but it appeared dead on. My setup is a dual 1GHz MDD PowerMac. It has OSX 10.3.x installed, 1.25GB RAM, 80GB HD. My TV is a Samsung LN-T3253H which displays at 720p. I am using the stock video card in the computer (I believe) and I am using a DVI to HDMI cable plugged straight into the back of the TV. Unfortunately, I formatted the HD because I wanted to install 10.4.10 hoping this might help. I haven't been able to install it yet. If I can't, I will have to reinstall 10.3.9. Can you help me any?
