Monitor having toruble displaying a resolution

[Atwooooood]

So this initially was a problem with my games not playing in a certain resolution without everything being cropped off on the side, and it turns out to be a problem with my resolutions/monitor in general.

I have a Samsung 2333 24" 16:9 with a 1920x1080 native resolution, and whenever i put it on 1280x720 which is the 720p setting for my monitor, everything is being cropped around the edges. The task bar is halfway gone and my desktop icons are off the screen at the top. Any idea what could be causing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using a digital (dp, dvi, hdmi) or analogue (vga) connection?

Try making sure in your video card settings that it is recognizing the monitor as a monitor and a not a TV.

Try adjusting overscan/underscan settings in video card settings.

Try adjusting the monitors scaling options in its menus.

It's using DVI connection.
I'll check those settings if i can find them, i've already looked through my video card settings and couldnt find anything like that.

Nvidia Control Panel -> display

change resolution - make sure a resolution selected under PC is used, along with 60hz

adjust desktop size and position - try the scaling options in there
