Are you talking about the desktop wallpaper, or everything? HDMI should sort all that funny stuff out on its own...

Have you messed with the scaling options on your monitor or in Catalyst Control Center?

your a saint matt, answered two of my questions perfectly today.

Lol, glad it worked :thup:

The only reason I thought about that is because my 8800GTX has scaling issues sometimes

That was gonna be my next guess

CCC sometimes screws that stuff up :shrug:

auto adjust automatically adjusts the scaling?

you checked the Catalyst Control Center with advanced settings under the scaling?

bougreaux · Jan 19, 2013

yes tried there as well.

Either the video card or the monitor is doing under/over scan. You need to disable these options.

bougreaux · Jan 19, 2013

how do I change that... I'm not familiar with that.

Automata · Jan 20, 2013

I don't have your monitor, so you will need to refer to your manual or go through the on-screen menus. I don't have your video card, so you will need to check the CCC again.
