adjusting monitor help!!

[jwc]

Hi all, new desktop arrived yesterday, so pleased with the service from PC specialist, tremendous work.

one niggle though, it doesnt involve the actual pc from them so much as me making it do what it want. My monitor that i already have, LG flatron w2234s has been connected and installed. however the screen doesnt fit exactly. i can only see half of the bar at the top were the X sits and online not all website fill the page!

Anyone have any ideas.

Cheers

I would suggest going into the 'Control Panel' on Windows then into the 'Appearance and Personalization' menu then the 'Display' menu and see if you can change and play about with the screen resolution in case the monitor hasn't automatically set it to the correct one.

Sometimes this issue can also be due to the GPU driver so you might want to make sure that you have the latest driver installed just in case.

I had the same problem. None of my HD tv's would fit onto the screen in 1080p. I had to set them to 1766x768 in resolution I think. However, this was bringing my refresh rate down to 30hz.

I then tried on my dad's brand new panasonic tv and the same issue was happening so I had another look in my tv's settings and discovered 'Overscanning'. I set this to No instead of yes and all of a sudden my 1080p screen fit perfectly. Put it back onto my crappy hitachi tv and I had a similar setting called 'zoom' in the menu's. Instead of having this has auto I set it to normal I think.

Check your tv's menu's for something like that

I have my macbook pro connected to my TV while I await my new PC, when I am in OSX it doesn't fit on the TV, but in Windows it does.

What I done was change the aspect ratio settings in the TV options, in windows AUTO setting worked fine but in OSX I have to set the TV setting aspect ratio to ORIGINAL for it to display correctly at 1920x1080.
