Does the TV out on your video card fill the entire TV screen?

I have used the ATI AIW 128 and 128Pro video cards and both of them had a black border at the bottom of the TV screen when using the TV out option. Although I could reduce the thickness of the black border I could not get rid of it with any of the adjustments.

Does your current video card do TV out without ANY black borders around the picture on the TV screen?

I'm looking to upgrade my video card to something with DVI output for a LCD screen and would like to be able to do TV out for copying video without any black border.

Thanks for any info.

You can enable overscan on Radeon cards to eliminate the black borders. IIRC, TV Tool will do the same with a variety of other cards, and Matrox has a zoom feature that supposed to work well.

Thanks for the info. Have you actually tried this? The overscan hack didn't work with the AIW 128/128Pro series cards. I would have to be sure before laying out cash.

BTW, the Matrox cards do full screen without borders automatically in the DVD max mode.

Thanks again.

Oh Yea, I always use overscan with theater mode to watch videos via s-video out with my AIW 7500. Have used it extensively for quite some time now, and it worked perfectly with my old 27" LXI using composite>Rf adaptor and it works pefectly on my present 32" Sanyo. I have heard of problems a member at Rage3D was having with a Sony Wega set, so you might want to plug overscan into the search engine over there prior to your purchase to see what turns up. Use Rage3d tweak to enable it is the easiest way.
