Monitor display doesn not fill the screen

[bgreen39]

My Dell ST2410 monitor is connected to a Studio XPS desktop with a Radeon HD 4350 video board. I have it set to 1920 x 1080. The display does not fill the 24 inch screen? There is a one inch black border of unused screen on top, bottom, and both sides? Anyone know why? I'm only getting about a 22 inch picture instead of 24 inches.

Also, when the machine times out and goes to sleep, the display shows a message that says "No HDMI cable". I have the display connected to the 4350 with an HDMI cable so I'm not sure what this message is about.

Thanks, Bob

The issue could be a bad monitor, cable, or driver...

first things first, update the driver to the latest Catalyst version, see if that alleviates the problem...

then if the monitor has a DVI port, try a DVI cable, instead of the HDMI, alternatively try a new HDMI cable...

PROBLEM IS FIXED.

The display driver scaling was not set correctly.

Thanks for your help Ben.
