I know this was answered (may have been an LCD) recently, but I can't remember and have never gotten the CP search to do anything.

So I signed up to Netflix last week along with a VPN and Thursday or Friday night got in to using it. The kids are off and running on the iPad with the App and I had the old laptop with HDMI running Netflix through Firefox on the TV. The TV is showing up as SAMSUNG running 1920 x 1080 and Firefox was only slightly bigger than the visible portion of the TV. This made little to no difference especially when running at Full Screen.

Yesterday the Mother In-Law discovered her DVR was not recording her TV shows. The laptop and Netflix was blamed, so I disconneted the laptop HDMI and it's recording. No idea why this is, just that the HDMI 1 and 2 ports on the TV seem to share something. But that's not my question.

The boy in his infinite wisdom unplugged the Raspberry Pi on HDMI 4 and then the running laptop from HDMI 2 and plugged it in to HDMI 4. Now Firefox is huge (I know it's the scaling of the screen) and when expanded I can't see the Address Bar and quite a bit below.

So what do I have to do to Windows 7 to get the Samsung Plasma TV to not only run at 1920 x 1080 but to fit to visible.
