CommanderCrazy Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 So i got this shiny new monitor. The recommended resolution is 1920x1080, but if i put it at this, then the desktop is larger than the screen.Manually scaling it in the Nvidia Control Panel fixes it being bigger, but makes text and images blurry and generally looking crap. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 By the looks of things this is a known issue. Apparently if you're using HDMI it has serious issues. Two solutions I've found..... Set it to "PC mode" or use a VGA cable instead. Edit: After I little more looking I've found that the monitor has two modes, AV/TV and PC, it defaults to AV/TV and what you're seeing is overscan, changing the setting should fix it.

Precisely this one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Shipping monitors with the overscan enabled does seem a very strange thing to do, in fact why it's there in the first place is a mystery. I wonder how many get returned as faulty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 I got no idea. I wasnt going to return it though, i got into the mindset of 'adjust to grainy text and live with it'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
