Windows 10: Different VGA max resolution and HDMI max, Sony TV

Hello!

Probably this is normal, but I want to ask just in case. I am using a Sony Bravia KDL-19L4000 19" LCD TV (see my specs) as a monitor. At first I tried to use HDMI but it would only go up to 1280x720 at 60Hz without filling the screen (leaving black bars) because the resolution is 16:9 while the panel is 16:10. Trying to adjust the aspect ratio from the remote doesn't work for HDMI signal. So I disconnected the HDMI cable and used VGA instead. This allowed me to raise the resolution up to 1440X900 which can be adjusted to "full" and perfectly fill the screen. I see in the specs (see link) that maximum resolution is 1680x1050, but is not available and has to be added as a custom resolution. Anyway, I thought it is perfectly reasonable to add 1440x900 as a custom resolution to HDMI using nVidia Control Panel. I added it but the TV would display a distorted image in 1360x768 instead, while Windows 10 report 1440x900. Probably the CVT-RB timing is not the correct one. Which one could work? Or it is just the TV cannot properly use custom resolutions with HDMI? I tried the advanced tab in custom resolution but I had to input all data manually and do not have a clue. If anyone can help me successfully add 1440x900 or 1680x1050 I would be grateful.

Changed Resolution settings on PC while using a TV with a VGA to HDMI converter, no Signal

The resolution you're changing it to might not be supported by your TV, you're going to have to see what's the max your TV supports and set it to that.

If it's 720p its going to be 1280x720

Thanks,

VGA to HDMI Resolution problems

HI all,

I've connected my Windows 10 PC to a TV via a VGA to HDMI cable.

The recommended resolution is 1920 x 1080.

However using these settings means I cant see everything. Been through all the resolutions and none seem to fit!

any ideas?

thanks

Alan
