[mythtv-users] Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H, 1080p problems?

[Troy Goodson]

I'm considering a system using a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H motherboard.   
There seems to be a lot of people who have used this board.  I've  
found a lot positive remarks out there from people who have used it,  
but also a couple of comments about problems with 1080p (below) over  
HDMI and maybe DVI.

Is anyone out there using this motherboard with a 1080p display at  
1920x1080?  Have you had to deal with jitters? Is the image being cut  
off, as described below?  Were you able to solve these problems?

jitters by reducing my X resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x720"

"we did notice a scanning problem with the 7100 graphics adapter's  
driver. Despite outputting a 1920x1080 native resolution to our  
display, the edges of the Windows Vista desktop (including the  
Taskbar) were lost beyond the edges of the display and there was no  
way to remedy this using NVIDIA's driver. It did the same through its  
DVI port when we used a DVI to HDMI adapter."
