when i choose 1900x1200 the margins of the win desktop are cutted,
i see only half of windows tak bar, at my full hd tv (panasonic 42").
i did not select any zoom only 16:9.

the next smaler rsolution i can choose on fit pc2 is a little bit to small for my tv!

any idea?

Go to your TV menu with a remote controller, and try to find settings for HDMI or "Computer input". If you find them, try to search for something named "overscan" or like that, and disable it.

It's intended for DVD / Blue-Ray / Playstation etc. stuff, in short - intended for devices with HDMI output that are not computers. Since the TV has no idea whether the thing you plugged into its HDMI port is a computer or something else, you have to set it manually.

Why by default it's on? I guess because there are still much less computers with HDMI output in the market, than there are Playstations etc.

since you know a lot about this ;)

do you have an idea, how to bring audio sound into my tv

fit pc is not supporting it via hdmi only rca

but i think most tvs have no chinch or 3,5mm input combined with a hdmi port

are additional loudspeakers the only way how to do it, or is there another possibility bring video and audio signal on my tv, not to use another thing???

in any case thanx a lot from frankfurt-germany

There are things like this but they are expensive: http://sewelldirect.com/gefen-dvi-audio ... dapter.asp

There are some cheaper things too: http://www.lightinthebox.com/HDMI-Conve ... 29691.html

But all are converters (not adapters), so they
a) Need an active power source
b) probably have their own EDID so you cannot communicate directly between Fit-PC2 and your TV anymore.
