Title: Help Streaming Games From PC to TV
Post by: bluecountry on December 18, 2010, 11:52:32 AM

I am trying to stream games from my PC (Dell Inspiron 5150  6 years old) to my TV (Samsung LN630).

I have it connected with a VGA cable.  I am able to display the desktop background and itunes background from the PC to the TV completely.
However, today I wanted stream a hockey game from my PC to my TV.
I am able to, yet even though I have the game in full screen mode on my PC...it only takes up 30% or thereabouts on my TV.

I wanted to know if any of you have this problem, and what I can do so the streaming game takes up the full screen of my TV like it does on the PC.
I don't understand because when I close the game and go to the desktop background, or itunes, it shows up on the TV in full screen.
I have Windows XP.

Yes, that is not uncommon.
Do you demand an explanation?
