i have an x800 xt platinum edition hooked to my 45" mitsubishi (it's 4:3) in my computer room. my wife let me have it(i paid for the darn thing) after i got the widescreen for the living room. is your projection screen 4:3 or 16:4? min's 4:3 and 1024 x 768 fits exact. that's what most tv's are, unless it's a widescreen model. there should be a setting for it somewhere. are you using the high def connector?
