I just bought a 22" Sceptre screen to replace my 4 year old 19" lcd which died. This screen seems to only fill in 90% of the total lcd. There are black borders around the entire screen by about 3/4 of an inch on the sides and a half inch at top and bottom. I set the resolution to 1680x1050 but no matter what I do it doesn't seem to fill in the whole lcd. The mouse also only goes to the borders and not the full screen also.

Any help would be appreciated. System specs in sig.
 
See if you can dig though the monitor settings and find a setting that allows the screen to be viewed in "full" or "actual" - something along those lines and see if that works.
 
I don't see anything to change in Monitor settings. The dropdown for the refresh rate only has 60hz and you can't change that.

Generic PnP monitor it is stuck at and Sceptre has no Vista 64 drivers, only Vista 32.

I am using Vista 64.
 
I'm sorry I meant the monitors OSD or On Screen Display menu settings not the Windows settings. See if you can dig through the menu options for the monitor directly.
 
There is an auto feature in the monitor options but it appears to be greyed out for some odd reason.
 
Any other suggestions?

It seems to be full screen at really low resolutions like 800x600 and 640x480.

This makes no sense at all.

Just did a fresh vista 32 install and same thing.
 
Install the monitor driver, if there is any.

Participator is asking about the monitor on-screen-menu, if there are any settings for scontrolling teh aspect ration or so. You should definitely check it.

What happens, if you set a lower resolution? Like 800x600? Is only the centre of the monitor filled, or is the screen stretched?
 
Hmmm I uninstalled the 8.5 ati drivers and it became full screen. Installed them again and after restart it went back to the black borders again.
 
Got it working. Uninstalled the ATI drivers and installed the MSI drivers and now everything is fine. Very weird though.
 
I had a suspicion that it may be related to the Catalyst drivers, but as I use nVidia, I can not check it. Well, another reasone to stay with nVidia :)
