Hi everyone!

hopefully someone can shed some light onto what is going on here!

I have a Windows Vista 32bit PC hooked up (via D-SUB) to my Sony Bravia 1080p LCD TV.

The TV runs at 1920x1080 natively. however when I connect it to the computer, the NVIDIA control panel (and display settings) show 1600x1200 as the maximum resolution (which the TV does not support). I have added 1920x1080 via the custom resolution window, so I can have the desktop at the right resolution, but unfortunately 90% of games dont show the resolution for whatever reason windows doesnt!

There doesnt seem to be a windows driver for the LCD TV by sony, it "comes" with Windows apparently.

I just updated my graphics card drives, and it reset my custom resolutions and put me back to 1600x1200 max.  Hopefully someone has some ideas on how to fix this, because I am stumped!!

EDIT
Another strange thing, with my normal LCD monitor when I run the stereoscopic3D wizard from the NVIDIA control panel, it brings up a menu to choose between full-blown 3D-Vision (with shutter glasses) or cheap-o 3D-Vision Discover (red-cyan glasses).
However, now that my computer is attached to this TV, when I run the wizard, the computer attempts to change resolution/refresh rate (I assume to the recommended 120Hz required for 3D-Vision shutter glasses). I dont know why it assumes this monitor supports this, which it doesnt.

I tried updating the drivers through device manager, but windows insists its using the best one now

1.  What graphics card are you using and what resolution is it capable of supporting?
2.  In the nvidia control panel, where it says select the display you would like to change, is the TV selected?
3.  Did you try using the add resolutions button?
4.  Does the TV need a firmware update of its own?

1. Nvidia 8800GT 512mb PCI-E (max 2560x1600)
2. The TV is the only one that comes up, as it is plugged in via D-SUB replacing my standard LCD Monitor
3. Like I stated, I was able to get the desktop in the right resolution by going into the custom resolution window and ticking "show resolutions not supported by this monitor" then ticking 1920x1080x32@60hz
4. I have no idea if it requires an update!

Another update :  When I plug the laptop (Windows 7) into the TV with the same setup (D-SUB) it comes up correctly, with all the correct 16:9 resolutions already available, and none of the super high 4:3 resolutions.

Its almost like windows for some reason thinks this TV is not widescreen. the only widescreen resolution it shows is 1360x768, 1440x900 is also missing

I Fixed it!

I went into device manager, properties on the plug and play monitor, then update driver. I chose manually choose a driver, then show me a list. from Generic manufacturer I chose Flat Panel TV (1920x1080) from the list.

Why these are not available in an easier to reach location is beyond me, I think its about time microsoft gave monitors some proper love!
