Hi.

I have a HTPC running Windows XP hooked up to my 42" Samsung LCD. I use it for games, internet TV, and just regular browsing. However, when I go to most sites using IE 7 the site gets crammed into left corner of the TV and the font is really small, even though I have the font in IE 7 set to the largest setting.

I'm just curious if anyone knows of how I might make it so the sites fill the screen, instead of being so small that I need to sit right on the floor in front of the TV just to read the font. I'd like to be able to just sit back and yet not strain my eyes at the same time.

Failing anything that can be done with IE, perhaps there is another internet browser that would better suit browsing on a larger tv?

Any help appreciated.

You need to first check that your display settings are set to the correct resolution for that monitor - usually it's in the region of 1366 x 768 for a 42-inch in widescreen format.

Having done that, you might then need to use the monitor's button or OSD controls to adjust the picture horizontally and/or vertically.
