Image on my LCD linked to PC is squashed
Discussion
I have a 40" bravia which is hooked up to my PC. I do all my computing and media stuff on it.
However, there is a problem.
Watching moveies is fine, all the ratios are correct and the image is clear and as it should be.
Images are the problem. Jpegs, even pictures on webpages seems squashed from the top. E.g. A picture of a person makes the perons look broader, face, body, everything.
My old computer used to display everything fine on the LCD.
The grahics card is an Nvdia (Lord knows which!)
Any ideas? Come across this before?

What Plotloss said, but also check to see if the panel has the ability to mimic a different resolution on the input you're using with the PC. Our LG plasma caused me a bit of head scratching over this point when I had to move the PC onto the VGA input after the arrival of SkyHD kicked it off the HDMI input - aspect ratios were spot on over HDMI, but were totally screwed up on VGA, and no matter how much I tweaked the display settings on the PC I couldn't get it even close.
Then, whilst fiddling with the TV settings one day for something unrelated, I noticed the VGA input was set to mimic a 1024*768 panel

Is the resolution output on the vga card the same as the native res of the panel?
Sorry buddy, could you show me how to do this? I am not bad with my whizzbangery but this is a newie.
The res of the panel is 1368 x 768.
The resolution under properties>settings> should be 1024 x whatever the usual is.
How can I mimich the setting required? I need 1368 surely?

Download latest nvidia drivers. Open control panel and go to the TV settings. There you will be able to set the HD output to 720p. You might get some overscan (picture appearing slightly too large for the screen), but there is provision in the control panel to adjust for that.
how do you access such provision? as I have this slight overscan issue also

I can't find it, any chance you could walk me through it?
