Hey all, hopefully you guys can shed more light on this problem that what I've seen on the internet.
Here is the setup:
-AMD system using an ATi All-in-Wonder 9700 Pro as its video card.
-Sony NON-widescreen(4:3) HDTV w/ DVI input as my monitor.
-I'm connecting the two using a Monster DVI cable straight from the AIW to the DVI input on the TV (component adapter didn't work either).
The TV supports all major resolutions (480i&p, 540p, 720p, 1080i). Since my TV is a 4:3 television, those modes should show up on my TV as letterboxed, which I wouldn't mind. The problem is, that the ATi control panel limits my resolution to 640x480. If I try to change the resolution to anything higher, I have to scroll my screen b/c the resolution is larger than my TV supports (supposedly).
So I downloaded Powerstrip to see if I could create a resolution, or force my video card to output a certain resolution. Still no luck. Powerstrip tells me that my monitor does not support anything over 640x480, which is very odd.
I'm hoping that somebody can give me some answers as to why this isn't working. I figured that if I had a 4:3 television, that resolutions like 1024x768 or 1280x1024 would be easy. Unfortunately this hasn't been the case. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
