    Samsung Main board swap problem. incorrect Resolution.

    Hi I have a samsung 1080p 37inch TV that I've swapped the main board out on (after the bad caps had been replaced on the PSU board).
    When I've installed the new board it is detected by my Mac Mini through HDMI as a 1366 x 768 display instead of a 1080p display.
    I don't have a remote with me to jump into the settings but am wondering if there is anything in the engineering menu to set the resolution of the panel that the board is plugged into?
    The TCon board was fine before the mod but the power kept turning off on the board (tried changing the rom) and it seemed easy just to swap the main board over.

    The image does not correctly fit the screen and the lighter colours on the panel are incorrect. The image seens to get to about 768 pels then there is a blank and the image starts again off the bottom of the display.

    To add insult to injury the new board I bought from ebay is rusty down the HDMI and VGA connectors. The board has definitely seen some water damage but was sold as from a working set. I assume though that the fault I'm seeing is not due to the water damage.

    I believe there is a setting in the Service Menu to do what you're after. Someone with more direct knowledge will chime in shortly I'm sure.

    I do think any remote will do - any Samsung or Universal since the key strokes are common ones. Good luck.

      Usually you can change the display settings to 1080p from the settings on your mac.

        The problem isn't so much with the mac being at the wrong resolution it's that the TV is detected as a 1366 x 768 resolution (the main board is using the wrong panel resolution). Hopefully there's a setting in the service menu that will let me change it. Just need to fish out my remote control now.

          Yes, there often is, but not always. If your TV is fairly new, it may not work; but older Samsung it is definitely possible.

            We are seeing more and more board fails on here due to hdmi.
            I would now advise switching a set off (unplug) then plug in or unplug the hdmi.
            Doesnt seem any sort pf protection - direct connection to the main processor.

              Hi everyone. I managed to get the service menu up.
              I changed the following:
              Inch option to 37"
              Panel type to 37"AU FHD
              Changed high Devi to on.
              Nothing that I can see will up the resolution. Is there a particular setting I need to look for?

                It may be that the main board resolution cannot be changed, sorry.
