Parallels 5 and Windows 7 Full screen resolution problem

[hakuryuu]

I run Windows 7 via parallels on a second monitor. The resolution of this monitor (actually its a 37 inch tv, but it was laying around unused at the office, so whatever..) is 1366x768.

When I change the view to full screen I get a major graphical glitch. I have attached it.

Any ideas?

With this picture hanging on your TV please generate a problem report via Parallels Desktop menu Help -> Report a Problem and post report ID here. Thanks.

Hello hakuryuu,

We've tried to reproduce your problem, but were not able to replicate it.

The main problem is that we're not able to set "1366" width resolution on the Mac - only "1360" or "1368" seem to be supported.

From your configuration (based on Problem Report ID you've provided) i can see a display named "SwitchResX4 - VX37L HDTV10A". So i assume that you've used SwitchResX to configure it.

But even with latest version of that tool we're not able to set that resolution. It won't let me set 1366 - instead forces to use one of resolutions which could be divided by 8. Can you please clarify, how can we replicate your configuration? Maybe you have some special version of SwitchResX?

Thank you,
Max

I don't know why the monitor is still called that, but tested SwitchResX long after I hooked up this TV and have since removed that software. 1366x768 is a fairly common resolution amongst 32-37inch LCD TVs. I have attached a screenshot of my Display preference pane for this monitor.
