Hi everyone! New here! been reading around for a while now!
I'm 23 and am a student studying electronic engineering in college at the moment and computers, as well as guitars and guitar amps, are one of my main interests. I read the reviews on here all the time! If i google something it tends to lead here! So i joined!
Anyway so i'm having a problem. My Monitor displays fine and uses all the screen area on other resolutions, but when set to its native and recommended resolution, 1920x1080, the image size is reduced and doesnt fill the whole screen. there is about an inch of black at the sides and half an inch on top and bottom. My set up is as follows.
Monitor: Benq e2420hd - 24" 1920x1080 HD
GPU: Gigabyte ati radeon HD 5770
^connected with hdmi cable
Anyone else experience this problem? Is it the HDMI cable? I used a different cable, cant remem if it was DVI or VGA, but not sure if this was the case then? I've searched the forum and all over google! Rest of my set up is as follows.
AMD Phenom IIx4 965BE
MSI 790FX & SB750
4gig ram
2x 500GB HDs in Raid0
Any recommendations or help appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Dean
