hello!

i just bought a samsung S24B350H monitor.

i cant seem to get a display resolution higher than 1920 x 1080..i thought that 24" monitors can show 1920x 1200? i have black borders on my screen now...

i have tried installing and updating both the GPU and monitor drivers...yet it still wouldn't show 1920x1200.

i'm using a HDMI cable to connect the monitor.
GPU is ATI HD 5800 series.
OS is Win7 64bit

can anyone help?

based on its specification: http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/pc-peri...4B350HS/XM-spec

its max resolution is 1920x1080. thats it. i can't displayed more than that.
they have 1920x1200 24" led monitor: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitor...A850DW/ZA-specs
but it is not available in our region. i don't know why.

hmmm.. if that's the case, then how come my screen is surrounded by black borders?

it does not fill the whole monitor?

what do you mean by a black borders? is that just horizontal, or vertical? or both? when it happened? while watching movies, playing games, or your desktop itself already filled with black borders?

i never use samsung lcd/led so i cannot imagine, but can you access the panel menu and find a menu that can reset the display, or similar tu full screen or 1:1 pixel mapping or something like that? sweat.gif
seems like your monitor's settings cause that borders since you are saying that you saw that black borders when starting the pc, not after booting into windows. means they are nothing to do with graphic driver.

anyway, are you using vga/d-sub port or hdmi?

edited: i just downloaded your lcd model's manual. according to the manual, it has "optimal resolution setting" and "standard signal mode table". i think your lcd are using 4:3 mode and not 16:9, thats why you saw the borders. try setting to VESA 1920x1080 with 60Hz mode.

most of 27" that you can find in local market are based on 16:9 format, which is full HD. you can see the difference by its resolutions: either using 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 or its refresh rate: either 60Hz or 120Hz. this size of monitor will has starting price around 2k (for a well known brand like dell, samsung, etc.)
