I'm going out on a limb here but I believe it's your TV model... I run a 40" 1080p via DVI on my primary PC despite having a nvidia 260 gtx becuase my mobo is older w/o the hdmi capability. Now my daughter plays Disney's Pirates Online and I recently snagged a decent emerson 32" 720p off newegg a few weeks back and she loves it! We run it via hdmi from my wifes laptop since it has 4gb of memory otherwise McKinley won't play on her desktop only 1gb lol but long story short, same thing with it and no options in any of the controls or menus to adjust and I resize the window for Pirates so it all fits. I would dare say that's why I paid upwards of $1000 about 2 years back for the 40" and only $200 for the 32", time has passed so they are cheaper but so is what they put inside and how they think ahead. Now I'm no expert on TV's by any means so if you do get something sorted let me know so my daughter can thank you
