Solve : Samsung Monitor Issue?

Answer»

I bought a new pc + monitor today,
Intel Core i7-3820
16 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6950 1 gb
gigabyte x79-ud3
And a Samsung SyncMaster 23" LED 1920x1080 (LS23B370H, using hdmi)
using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I'm using it at 1920x1080 obviously, however the desktop DISPLAY I'm getting is not covering the entire screen, there is at least a 1 inch border of screen around the actual display that is not being used.  I'd take an photo but its too dark to see anything, the monitor menu goes all the way down but the windows taskbar is ending almost an inch above. I've tried FIDDLING with the monitor settings, the h and v position settings under 'size and position' tab of the menu are greyed out and hence cannot be changed. Any ideas how to fix this?
First i would recommend reading the manual that came with your monitor for advice on resolution settings. My inclination is to tell you to try different resolution settings and to help you know what you are doing and what the effect  is likely to do here is a link that explains the rational behind various settings depending on the screen size and desired outcome.

truenorthDoes the graphics card support 1920x1080 on the HDMI output?  It may only support it on the DVI output.
As TN has pointed out, the native resolution of the monitor may not be 1920x1080.my monitors native resolution is 1920x1080, however my gfx card specs say this

Cutting-edge integrated display support

    DisplayPort 1.2
        Max resolution: 2560x1600 per display
        Multi-Stream Transport
        21.6 Gbps bandwidth
        High bit-rate audio
    HDMI® (With 3D, Deep Color and x.v.Color™)
        Max resolution: 1920x1200
    Dual-link DVI with HDCP
        Max resolution: 2560x1600
    VGA
        Max resolution: 2048x1536

it should support 1920x1080 with HDMI shouldn't it? Quote from: passport2pain on May 04, 2012, 08:11:21 PM

That post was wrong, my graphic card specs says:
Max Supported Resolution (ANALOG):2048 x 1536
Max Supported Resolution (DIGITAL):2560 x 1600

so it should support a 1920x1080 monitor with hdmi cable shouldn't it?According to the specs provided yes it should. However have you tried EXPERIMENTING with other settings?truenorthYes i tried various settings, when i play COD4, the image is proper vertically but not horizontally, even with a resolution of 1680x1050 the image is proper vertically but not horizontally. It really is baffling me, is the issue with the monitor or the gfx card? or is it just a settings issue?Does this appearance effect occur with ALL displayed video or is it just certain ONES? It may relate to the embedded software criteria for the software. Normally the alteration of video displayed is governed by the resolution setting chosen related to the available hardware. If the answer is not self evident from the monitor manual then either a phone call to their tech support  or an e-mail might shine some light on the issue.truenorth1920/1080=1.777
2048/1536=1.333
2560/1600=1.6
1680/1050=1.6
These are different aspect ratios (Width/Height).  Your monitor will only display properly the ratio 1.777.  You have to choose a resolution that equals 1.777.  You can force the image to FILL the entire screen by changing the monitor settings, but it will appear stretched in horizontal or vertical or will will have black bars.
