Samsung LA32C550 display cut off when playing movies

Feb 26, 2011 12:02AM PST

With great expectation I bought Samsung LA32C550 32" FullHD LCD TV to use as my PC monitor. On setting it up and setting the resolution to 1920*1080, the TV seems to take only 1600*1200 as its native resolution. Why is this so? I was expecting a Full HD TV like this to intake my PC'c 1080p output. Am using a VGA connector for display and not an HDMI. On playing movies, the entire screen seems to be skewed by an inch from top and bottom. The aspect ratio is not maintained. Can any one tell me what could be the reason for this?
