    [quote=wgt]Also, SJMaye mentioned Monitor Asset Manager ..not familiar with how to use it to construct a custom .inf file for my Pioneer plasma?? [/quote]

    I read this from this post, but here are the simple instructions the poster gave.  Worked easily.

    1. Download a program called Moninfo which reads the EDID info for your monitor

    2. If you have an AVR, disconnect it and connect directly to the TV with HDMI otherwise skip this step

    3. Run Moninfo, click on your TV manufacturer’s name, and click File->Create INF and save it as DISPLAY.inf or something such as that

    4. If you have an AVR reconnect it in the chain, run Moninfo again, click on your AVR manufacturer’s name and click File->Merge extension bloc with INF and merge it into DISPLAY.inf that you just created.

    5. Go to device manager and replace the Generic PnP monitor driver with your new INF.

    From the way this works it seems that Win7 gets confused and in my case selects Generic driver for my TV.  This creates a custom driver.  You tell Win7 specifically to use this driver.  So far seems to work.
