After reading about your experience I tested HDMI with my 42" Philips TV with the following observations:
- No problem with connection or displaying the correct picture. However the pictures outer frame is outside the TV display's border i.e. can't see the upper status line nor the lower control symbols and horizontally half the left & right icons/picture's edge is outside the border.
- changing resolution doesn't influence the above.
- Picture quality (comparing with my 7" tablet's HDMI output) is not the best either...
Thanks
