Hdmi Cable To The Tv

[gulliver1]

I have attached a HDMI cable from my computer to the TV, is there any way I can make the picture bigger on the TV, as at the moment it is exactly the same size as my computer, there must be some settings to change the size
but I can't find them, can anybody help please!

How about some clues?
Operating System?
Computer?
If it's Win7, you should be able to right-click the desktop and choose Resolution
Then click the Detect button, which should automatically set the correct res for each of the displays.

Hi Rojash, thanks for answering, my computer is a samsung R510, Vista.
if that's any help.

It's about 150 years since I used Vista, but I seem to remember that you right-click a clear area of the screen and choose Graphics properties.
In there you should see your two displays (the laptop screen, and the TV - you must be connected to the TV when you do this). You should be able to set the resolution to match that of your TV, which is presumably 1920 x 1080 HD).
