also the HDTV is widescreen and when i use it as my monitor, it centers it. is there a way to make it widescreen?
ive gone into settings and i cannot change it, i was wondering if anybody knew if i had to download something or if it is stuck this way?
Unless you are using HDMI, a PC monitor cable doesn't carry audio.
You could connect the audio output of the PC to an external input jack (if your TV has one).
You will need to adjust the output of your PC video card to match the dimensions of your screen, but not all Video cards can support widescreen format.
and in fact, any ATI HDMI graphics card, there's no need to spend all that just to get an HDMI card. The HD4550 will certainly do it, and for a fraction of the cost.
