Does anyone play CIV 5 in 1920x1080 Resolution on a HDTV?

[BlitzKrieg]

My interface is cut-off meaning I cant see certain buttons at the bottom of the screen. Im on a HDTV and most games have this problem but I can usually see the interface mostly to get by. However, in CIV 5 I cant see the unit commands and its almost impossible to play this game without seeing most of the interface. So is there something I can do to see the interface fully in 1920x1080? I had to revert back to 1680x1050 to see the interface but the graphics are not as detailed.

Not sure what your issue is. It works fine for me (I play all PC games on my 36 inch HDTV in 1920x1080 with no issues at all). I'd make sure you have the most up to date drivers and everything as that could be an issue. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all that you wouldn't be able to play the game in 1920x1080 unless your TV doesn't support 1080p.

OK so you need to do one of the following:
1) Preferably put your HDTV in a games mode with 1:1 pixel mapping;
2) Or else on your PC go to your graphics driver and select underscan (on AMD this is under My Digital Flat-Panels/Scaling Options).

Hope this helps!

I had a similar problem on an HDTV with Skyrim. Like Void said:

The only thing I would add is my TV called it "dot-by-dot" mode instead of "1:1 pixel mapping". Look for options with names along those lines. Also, I changed the HDMI input mode from "Video" to "PC".

Remember, a lot of TVs will try to do a bit of processing on their input signals that computer monitors don't. Setting them to "PC" mode or "Pure" or "Direct" should disable that processing. This might also disable some burn-in protection as well, so don't leave a still image on the TV while using these modes.

I found it. It was a option under aspect ratio. I had to set it to full screen rather than auto where if the display did not fit the screen size the driver would tweek it. Mainly for older non-native wide-screen games but worked in this situation as well. Thanks guys!

TVs still to this day crop out the outer edge of the image.
On some TVs, you can force it to display the whole screen,

It will work differently on every TV, and some doesn't even have the option:
Go to visual settings, and look through the options.
It could be called, "Overscan", "Scanning", "1:1 pixel mapping", "Crop", or be available under "Aspect ratio".

Switch between the options until you find a setting that displays the whole screen.

^ as stated here. Also sometimes there'll be a 'fit-to-screen' on your T.Vs menu.
If all else fails, if you're using an nVidia card you can go into the nVidia control panel, and use the options in 'Adjust desktop size and position' to alter your image to fit the screen correctly.
