How do I get rid of the small black border around the edge of my monitor?

Question:

How do I get rid of the small black border around the edge of my monitor?

I've just changed from DVI to HDMI output from my video card to my Acer b273H monitor. I have it set to 1920x1080 and the display settings confirm that, however the black border remains between the display and the edges of the screen.

I have tried to adjust the vertical and horizontal aspect of the picture using the buttons on the front of the monitor but that setting is greyed out and unavailable, where all the other settings are not.

Any help so that i can get full screen would be greatly appreciated. If i can't sort it out i'm gonna have to revert back to DVI and that would suck.

Answer 1:

Sounds like a scaling issue. You probably have a control manager for the video card. Can only be ATI or Nvidia. Right click on your desktop and left click the control manager. If it is an Nvidia card look for something that says desktop size and position in the pane on the left. If it is an ATI card click on the word Graphics in the upper left corner. Click Desktop & Displays in the drop down menu. Right click on the monitor and left click Configure. Go to the Scaling Options Tab. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
