RL85 Resolution wont match my Phillips TV
I have a new Revo RL85 (Win 8.1) connected to my Phillips TV via HDMI. The screen resolution will not match my TV in that I loose about 2cm of the screen display on all 4 sides. Switching to the lower resolution just makes the problem worse. I have tried 3 HDMI cables and also a Samsung TV but the problem is the same.
Is this fixable or is the Revo RL85 limited in its graphic abilities? I admit I find it strange that this Computer only has 2 Resolution settings where the other 6 computers in this house have a much larger range of available resolutions. Even my Raspberry Pi can match my TV resolution so what is wrong, if anything?

have you already tried to re-install Intel VGA drivers?
have you used the Intel display control adapter to set resolution?

To IronFly
Many thanks for the reply. First of all I did download the drivers as suggested and installed them but alas no change to my situation.
Regarding using the Intel Display Control Adaptor. Clearly I could not see this as it was hidden in the zone that is hidden from me due to the resolution problem that hides an area around the edge of the screnn. However I did find it among the "apps", terrible word, and it only offered me the 2 resolution setings already listed.
So no further forward however I did buy a standard monitor with HDMI and the screen display is fine.
So comfortable with that knowledge I called upon my neighbour and tried his panasonic TV with HDMI and yes the problem remains. So to me it is clear that the Revo RL85 works to a monitor via HDMI but it has a big problem with HDMI TVs that are Phillips, Samsung and Panasonic. Is the RL85 built with HDMI TVs in mind or is it not?
Regards and thanks again IronFly

Well I found a result and all thanks to a clue from IronFly in that you listed the various resolutions for various graphics for the RL85. It seemed that there were more setting options for the mini DP cable setup. So I purchases HDMI to Mini DP cable, plugged it in and there were 5 resolution settings available as opposed to the 2 offered using HDMI. It was then easy to find one that suited and now I am happy.
So forget HDMI and use Mini DP.
Thanks IronFly
