This is driving me up the wall because I can't figure this one out. The issue is that I cannot get Windows 7 to project the 1920x1080 resolution through VGA to my Samsung TV. I get a "mode not supported" error on the TV.
I have the RTM Windows 7 7600 x64 Ultimate version, running the latest ATi 9.6 radeon drivers. Now here's the kicker, in Vista 64, same drivers, it works perfectly fine. If it wasn't for the awesome new features of Windows Media Center in 7, I wouldn't care so much.
I've been able to change the refresh rate of the TV to 60Hz and 59Hz, and still get the error. So believe me when I say, the mode IS supported but it won't display.
Latest firmware on the TV (even though the firmware is dated for 2008), the TV supports 1920x1080 through VGA. I am using a HP DV5Z laptop with VGA out and HDMI out. When I do HMDI out to the TV it will go to 1920x1080 but won't fill the full screen, AND it looks like crap.
The thing I don't understand is Vista 64 Sp1 Ult works perfectly fine using VGA and 1920x1080, ALL beta and now the RTM of Windows 7 does not. Windows does not install or recognize the HDMI or VGA input Samusung drivers (if they exist). The TV is HDCP compliant.
The ONLY thing I can think is that Windows 7 comes pre configured for HD codecs and is pushing only HDCP compliant signals to HD resolutions, and VGA is not capable of meeting that standard.....BUT the Samsung 21.5 Syncmaster I have on my desktop, from the same laptop through VGA, displays fine in 1920x1080
Vista does it, same settings same hardware, windows 7 does not. What is Windows 7 pushing to my TV that Vista isn't? Forcing 1920x1080 60Hz from Ati catalyst software gives the same result, only in 7.
Anyone? Bueller..................Bueller
