Hey all,

Since upgrading to Windows 10 from 7, I ran into the same issue as the poster of this thread - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2752209/windows-resolution-1080p-screen-big-screen-falls-page.html

So I tried the catalyst scaling option for my desktop and this seemed to fix the issue for mostly everything, desktop and most games, However, the problem still seems to arise with some games I try to play, such as Xcom Enemy Within or Dawn of War 2. Changing resolution in these games doesnt appear to have any effect, the image is still falling off the screen, I use my desktop on a 32 inch TV as opposed to a monitor via HDMI, and keep it set to 1600x900 as opposed to its native 1920x10180, but even leaving it at 1920 has the same effect.

I have my specs on a dxdiag file, dunno where to upload it here, but I'm using a AMD Radeon R9 200 Series on an Asus I built. If anyone could help, it'd be most appreciated.

Sounds like you have overscan issues. In your computer's settings , always set the output resolution to 1920x1080 if your monitor is indeed a 1080p screen, or usually 1360x768 if it's a "720p" screen. In the TV, set it to disable overscan by changing the picture size settings to "PC" or "1 : 1" or "dot by dot"
