Can't change settings in Catalyst

[Grifent]

Hi,

I've recently bought a new desktop and Asus monitor, which is plugged in with hdmi cables, and now I'm having issues with black bars on all sides of the screen. I've tried to set underscan to 0% in CCC but I can't move the bar around with the box ticked in. Any help?

Instead of using CCC, use Display Settings from Windows' Control Panel. If you set the resolution to that of the monitor spec, you should be fine.

Well currently I have the resolution set to 1680x1050 which seems to be the highest resolution without the black bars. But I would still like to be able to set it to 1920x1080 so if you know a way to enable those settings in CCC that would be great. Also display settings says that my monitors native resolution should be 1920x1080, which is also said on the box it came in.

Then you should set it to 1920x1080 in Display Settings

But that's the problem. When I set it to 1920x1080 then I get the black bars.

http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VS278Q/specifications/ - yeah its 1080p.

I wouldn't use CCC for any of this. Just Display Settings. CCC has a LOT of complaints eg you have to uninstall it just to download and install drivers, ULPS stops cards working and crossfire working, etc etc
