Tried to play an HD trailer through my laptop to the xde screen. However, even though the plasma displayed the screen perfect, when it came to playing the trailer, the area in the player where the film would be was just black, but on the laptop screen played fine. Everything else is okay, I can browse the net etc but when trying to play back movie files etc just a black blank gap where the feature should be.
The laptop has a widescreen display but only displayed on the plasma as 4:3, as a consequence, when the HD trailer plays on the laptop it always plays perfect resolution, regardless of the laptop display settings, therefore when it reaches the plasma, its trying to force a 16:9 ratio into 4:3. Either the laptop can't cope or the plasma can't.
I'm using the std vga connection (i think?)
Any ideas?
Cheers
