Well, I purchased my new Sapphire ATI 5870 over the weekend. Plugged it in today and found out it will not detect my screensize. I have a sony bravia KDL-40vl130. Basically, the screensize shows up but I have a nice black outline around the entire monitor. I am using the 9.12 drivers. The monitor supports 1920x1080

My former Nvidia Cards worked like a dream with my TV.

ANyone else have this issue?

THx, Anthony

I did, when I tried using the HDMI connection with my 23" widescreen.
Changed to DVI, no problems.
Not sure what it is about the HDMI connection but I gave up on it rather quickly without much research.

Yes I had the same issue with my Samsung 32” 1080p HDTV and the new 9.12’s and the 9.12 Hotfix drivers.

You can remedy the problem by using the display “Underscan - Overscan” slider in the CCC under “Scaling Options”.

Oddly enough I did not have to do this with the 9.10’s or 9.11’s and my 5870, with the previous Catalyst drivers the screen was scaled properly with the driver install.
