Specs relevant:
- Graphics Card: AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB (should support up to 4096 x 2160)
- Screen : BenQ GL2460 (native resolution is 1920 x 1080)
- Cable : HDMI cable connected to my graphics card's HDMI slot, and to my screen's HDMI slot.
Well, I know it is unnecessary to point out cable and where it is connected, but now I won't have to answer to that if one would ask me if I did that.
Yesterday I had a TV running with my Radeon HD 7850 2GB on 1360 x 768 @ 60Hz. Today I got my new screen mentioned above, and on catalyst control center (yes, latest version) it says that recommended resolution is 1920 x 1080, so I set it to that. Then my desktop won't use the whole screen. And since my graphics card should be able to support this, I thought it would be something with outdated drivers, so I reinstalled every driver associated with graphics/screen etc.
This did not help. So I found out that the highest possible resolution which uses the whole screen was 1680 x 1050 @ 60Hz which isn't what I paid for.
Since I am not satisfied with working all this summer saving up money for this, I did everything I could do by searching forums and stuff. I saw people having similar problems but nothing which had anything to do with the desktop not filling out the border correctly.
I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?
s website seems to be very slow so I can
t check if there are any drivers there. One thing to mention, CCC wont list 1920 x 1080 in the "basic" tab, I have to go to the HDTV tab to choose 1080p. But in control panel i get 1920 x 1080 as a recommended option. And, I read fast through the link about overscan, but that didnt seem to be just as big borders as i got here, hard to explain how big they are... Thanks anyway :)
