Hey everyone,
So right now we are using a logitech revue as our primary source of entertainment on the TV. It has been a trooper, but I've wanted to stream hockey games via chrome recently, and this thing is just not up to the task even in the slightest.
This has got me thinking about a replacement. Recently, I hooked up my laptop via HDMI (just using first gen Intel HD graphics) to discover that my panasonic 720P plasma tv has a few less pixels than advertised - which causes the desktop borders to extend beyond the actual area that the TV displays. I know you can setup custom resolutions in the intel software, but it's not super great at figuring out the actual resolution. So here is my question: the logitech revue has a setup where you literally just alter the size of a box until it fills the screen, which tells the revue what the true screen resolution is - is there a comparable piece of software for windows?
I really want to invest in an AM1 HTPC, but want to test things out using my laptop for a while.
