I just recently bought a new samsung 23.6" LED monitor and I was wondering what the ideal resolution I should have it at. I'm on my highest possible at like 19xx * 1080 but I have this huge one inch black border between the monitor's edge and the visible part of the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this to make it take up the entire screen?

You should be able to set it at 1920x1200 for full HD which would sort it out?

Google for drivers and install monitor drivers maybe.

I'm assuming you have this monitor: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_mdl_cd=LS24B5LVFH/ZA

You should be running at native resolution which is 1920x1080 and you need to download the latest graphic card drivers from either AMD or Nvidia and your monitor drivers from Samsung.

Yes, that's the one. Sorry I'm at work at the moment and i can't remember what res I had it at. It was my maximum one possible. If i went a couple lower it would fill the entire screen but it would be not HD, thus horrible quality.

How did you know that? =)

I thought all those monitors were 1080p.

Insanely low resolution for such a big monitor. Why they hell do they produce 23" monitors with such a low resolution. My 10 year old 19" had already had 1200px (To be honest it got a bit blurry at that resolution). Still the trend to low resolution monitors still amazes me. My new notebook has a lower resolution than my 4 year old one(800px->768px)

1920x1080 is more cost efficient than 1920x1200 and is easier to market because 1080 is top-end of the broadcasting standard.

I did a little bit of research and found this review:

I had problems getting a full screen using Windows 7 (64bit) ATI HD 5770 with ATi Catalyst Control Centre version 10.9 graphics card software! When using hdmi connection scaling issues caused a black 'border' around the screen edges resulting in a 22 inch screen size on it's 24 inch display!

To fix this problem for hdmi connection I had install older ATi CCC software version 10.6.

Once this very irritating problem is fixed the picture display quality is the best I've seen to date.

SAMSUNG and ATI need to speak to each other and update their drivers & software; thus avoiding a lot of unhappy users with this combination of os & graphics card.


I have the exact same situation as this person (same GPU, windows 32 bit though). He stated that he actually had to downgrade his GPU software in order to get the resolution to work. I can't really do that as it will probably lead to a hundred more problems with other things. Does anyone know how to get around this some other way? Thanks for the help so far.

Swapping 10.9 drivers to 10.6 drivers probably wont cause any significant issues.

Because nearly every form of HD media is in 1080p. If you had a monitor with a resoultion like 2048xXXX it would need to scale and watching 1080p movies, playing 360/PS3, etc. would look bad.

It also allows them to just use the same technology (scalers etc.) as they do in everything else.


I am a little surprised we aren't seeing 2X or 4X 1080p screens or something similar though with multi screen GPUs getting more and more attention. Even if you couldn't put out 3840x2160 through one connection you could easily connect it to 4 HDMI/DVI connections on one machine.

I'm ready for "retina" monitors.

Retina is just some Apple marketing word. There are high resolutions displays available. They are also high quality IPS displays available. There are also high resolution IPS displays available. Apple just added Retina there to make it seem like Apple created some special, new kind of display.

Yeah it's just marketing and nothing spectacular technologically, but the idea is that the pixel density is so high you can't distinguish individual pixels.

Was your 19" widescreen? That seems absurdly high-res for a screen that's under 10" high. If it wasn't then it's probably a little taller than his 23" widescreen, so that seems normal (still pretty good res for your 19" though, mine's 5:4 and still only 1024 high)

Most likely a 1600x1200 19" CRT :p

You need to go into Catalyst Control Center, then on the graphics drop down box click Desktops and Displays, then right click the little picture of your monitor and click configure, then click the tab scaling options, and change the overscan to your liking.

Hope that helps.
