Yes, did the TV come with a driver CD? Does it show up as that TV in the control panel or is it just listed as a monitor?

I found with my Samsung LED TV and Dell LCD monitor that the displays wouldn't scale properly unless the PC had the correct display device driver installed.

sound over tv

if you want sound over hdmi, open the player you use, ie media player classic,zoom player etc, go in to options and click on audio output and change from system default or what ever your sytem sound options are and click on ati high deffinition .that will send sound straight to tv.:)

From your TV Manual:

PC (from HDMI terminal) Applicable input signal for PC is basically compatible to HDMI standard timing.
Signal name, Horizontal frequency (kHz), Vertical frequency (Hz)
640 × 480 @60 Hz, 31.47, 60.00
750 (720) / 60p, 45.00, 60.00
1,125 (1,080) / 60p, 67.50, 60.00


Check that you have overscan turned off in the picture menus on the TV as well and that the aspect ratio is set correctly.

I presume you're using a HDMI - HDMI cable rather than a DVI-HDMI, but if your using DVI-HDMI obviously you'll need to route a seperate audio cable for sound.

Hope that helps :)
