Guys,

I got two Samsung BX2231 LED (backlighted, not LED monitor...yeah I got tricked ) monitor connected to my ATI Radeon 6850. No matter what resolution I use, I can never get it to display fully without borders. Setting the resolution to 1920x1080 will shrink the whole image, black borders around it,

and 1680x1050 will result in borders at the sides.


HDMI, or the supplied HDMI-to-DVI cable makes no difference (don't tell me I should use VGA!)

What am I supposed to do? And I bought two of these!!

everything's in order - catalyst, driver, etc.

tried with my HP 23" monitor and everything is fine.


Edit: oh right...... someone told me there's an overscan feature that I gotta enable in Catalyst. Well if I turn this on yeah I can scale it up to fit the whole screen, but then it means that my monitor isn't technically 1080p, right? overscan would scale it up and blur it a bit?

its black, but i edited and coloured it to red so people can see it easily.

I scaled the display up a bit in catalyst, and the display managed to fill the entire screen. however, I noticed the texts and images to be slightly blurry. it doesn't really affect day-to-day use, but it's especially important when I do my video editing & VFX stuff. I'm gonna fiddle around a bit more to see if I can make the text (like the one in lowyat.net right now) sharper.
