trying to hook computer up to 52" widescreen?

Question

have a 6600GT card and I am trying to hook it up to a Panasonic 52" LCD projection tv (PT-52LCX66). I have the latest drivers for my video card.

I am currently trying to use the VGA connection. The output is smaller than the screen and it is very, very off-centered. It would need to be lowered a lot and then pushed to the right to be centered in the tv.

When watching tv, the whole screen is filled, right up to the plasitc screen. Even when you are just booting up, the POST screen fits the screen like it shoot. As soon as it gets to loading Windows, things go wrong.

The resolution of the tv is 1280x720. I put it at that resolution and there is black all the way around the picture. The bottom has the most space. I went through the tv's built in picture adjustments, but I couldn't lower it far enough, and no where could I make it bigger to take the whole screen. I'm thinking it's some type of setting in my software.

Thanks for your help!

What you are seeing is the initial boot up which will fill the screen, since the resolution is obviously great enough to do so. Your computer's video card may have the resolution to fill the screen, but the program desired does not. You might want to check the settings of the video card to be sure there is a proper match between it and the TV. The TV is only going to provide the resolution, and vertical/horizontal deflection information that it is supplied with. If there is not enough "drive" for full screen display, then you get what you have requested information about. That drive level may be the output level of the video card. It may be to weak, to small of a voltage level, to drive the TV to full screen deflection.
