How to adjust HDTV?

[SaiyanZ]

Okay, so I connected up my new PC to my 32" Samsung LCD HDTV. It was all fine until a couple of hours ago when I decided to go and fiddle with the TV settings to see if I could fine tune the picture. I selected "image reset" and the whole screen shifted to the right. Now no matter what I do there is a 2cm black bar on the left and a 1cm bar on the bottom. (So I'm also missing 2cm on the right and 1cm on the top)

How do I get rid of this and reset the picture? I tried ATI Catalyst Converter but it doesn't help and adjusting the settings on the TV wont help too! I'm using 1360x768 the native resolution of the TV.

Let's see how we can help. First off, why did you select Image Reset without checking the manual - this should reset all setting to the factory defaults

The native resolution for this TV is 1,366 x 768 (not 1360 x 768) - is this what your output is from the graphics card - if not, then you'll need to change it?

- How is the TV connected to the PC - VGA (D-Sub), HDMI cable, DVI, etc?
- What is the model number of the TV? Is it a LA32A450?

Have a look in the user manual and check if there is an auto adjust setting.

If connected via HDMI or DVI via an HDMI adapter, both the TV and PC MUST be switched off BEFORE connecting or disconnecting, otherwise you can run into trouble and bugger up your TV or Graphics Card. Try turning both off, disconnecting the cable that connects them, then power up both. Reset the TV. Power off both. Connect the cable again. Power up the tv, then the PC. Adjust where necessary.
