Can not be full screen under 1920x1080p

[rabinzx]

I bought a ASUS VH236HL-P Black 23" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor (Newegg Item#: N82E16824236065 ) I used DVI cable that come with the monitor which works petter good under 1920x1080, then I tried the HDMI cable , opps , there is a 2inches black area around the screen. I tried to set the resolution from ATi control center(OCC?) , same result. Then I tried 1680x1050. OK it is full screen now, but a little less clear then 1080.

Is there anyway I can fit it?

why do I want to use HDMI? I know that HDMI and DVI import same quality picture because they use the sam technology. First HDMI is one cable(monitor has built in speaker) . If I use DVI then I have to use 3.5mm cable. My motherboard has built in HD audio output, so I believe HDMI sound is better than 3.5mm cable sound.

Another question? There is a SPDIF port on both my motherboard and Monitor and my theather system(Panasonic Home Theater Sound System SC-PT660). Can I use thie port to connect my PC to Monitor or Theater system and use them as speaker? Here is my PC built.

I was having the same problem on my Asus 24"". I was getting very fustrated that I couldn't utilize the "full" screen.
Just chiming in to say thanks for the solution!

Now I am still using DVI +3.5mm audio cable, why? Everytime I reboot, the screen go back to small size. Then I have to manually adjust it. When I play games like Prince_of_Persia 4 , the screen become small again, and there is no way to turn it back.
