Thanks Robo,Since PC cables are colour coded, can you confirm if the monitor cable has blue ends (DB15 analogue) of white ends (DVi-D), as Ianmacd has mentioned it would appear that you have analogueWith analogue (blue) you need to establish the native resolution of the monitor, and ensure that you set the screen res to this for the best results, if the text and icons are too small you can change this within windows (ask and I'll dig out 'how to')
In the back of your manual it should have a list of resolutions, if you are lucky they will * the native resolution, as a 19" 16:9 I'd guess 1280x800, if you are sure this is 1024 then you would need 1024x576 (often TV products do not support a higher res as a PC monitor, as you don't need it for TV standards)
It's could be that you are using M$ drivers for the display adaptor, if possible try and locate the SiS 661FX/GX Mirage chipset drivers (based on screen print you loaded), might be these

As to the Auto button this alters the pixel phase & pixel shift, I could explain this but then I'd have to shoot you, but if you don't use the native resolution, the auto button may not provide good results, blurry text, thicker edge on some text compared to others
Please see attachment for Screenshots.can you look at the display adaptor drivers 'Device Manager', and confirm if the driver is M$ own?, by Intel? or by SiS?. M$ will be generic and likely only support 4:3 aspect ratios (for clarity 1024/4=256, 3x256=768, so 16:9 is 1024/16=64 with 9x64=576)
I don't Mate. I cannot recall the TV coming with a Manual - I have tried looking online - but there doesn't appear to be any.Do you have the TV manual, is there a page with supported resolutions?, as I eluded to, with PC outputs into LCD screens you must stick to the native resolution of the panel, and particularly true with analogue as there is limited handshaking between the screen and PC (plug & play = plug & pray)
Steve, Interesting bit of s/w although it does not appear to list hardware drivers and dll's installed so not sure if it will add much at this point.Admin....You've got troubles....
Download "belarc" and send me the report directly and I'll be able to see what you've got configured.
Note - don't put the report up on the forum - it contains lots of useful hackers information
Sorry it took so long. I have been editing, joining and resizing etc, so that all the info, fitted in one place (Pic) for you.OK that last screen dump, just confirmed that the onboard graphics chipset is made by SiSI need to now what driver for this screen

3rd item down 'Display adaptors' and let me see what is driving the graphics chip set
Also right mouse click on desktop, select Settings tab, select Adaptor tab, click on List All Modes, see if you have either 1024x576 or 1280x720 as supported resolutions, if you only have 1024x768 and 1280x1024 then the you may have to consider putting a cheap graphics card that supports 16:9 to fully solve this (something like a ATI Radeon HD 4350)
I haven't the foggiest. I will have a look and get back to you, on that one Mate.BTW does your TV have an HDMI input?
It's a useful program thanks for posting it!!indulge me!
This also has the HDMI input.It's a useful program thanks for posting it!!However it does not confirm what dll's or drivers versions are installed, so if you have a driver issue, this does not list them, unless I missed an hidden option
Problem with analogue visual issues it's often hard to diagnose remotely because it's often subjective, DVi-D or HDMI (derived from DVi spec) solves most of these
