How do I strech my Samsung HL-5667W to fill 1920x1080?

I'm trying to hook up my brand new MCE computer to my 2-3 year old Samsung 56in DLP. When I get it setup at 1920x1080 resolution the screen doesn't scale to fill the TV.



I'd like to use the HDMI input on it since the TV's VGA port is limited to 1024x768 resolution. I can get the computer connected and running at 1920x1080 res, BUT theres about 2inches of screen on every side thats not getting used. :(



I tried the aspect scaling in the nvidia drivers but no matter what setting I changed it to Ithere was no change.



Its a Geforce 8500 GT video card, HDMI, DVI, all that on it. TV model is HL-5667W. I've also tried my laptop and I get the same results, so changing video cards or computers makes no difference.



Thanks for the help.How do I strech my Samsung HL-5667W to fill 1920x1080?
