Display Goes Beyond Monitor Bounds

[ImHavingScreenProblems]

I recently bought a new monitor, and at first, it was working fine. Then, the screen stretched out just a bit past the edges of the monitor, so the bottom half of the bar at the bottom of the screen is cut off, as is about a quarter inch of the right and left ends. It's as if the computer thinks the screen ends further out than it does. I'm displaying at the screen's native resolution, and that was not changed when the problem started. When displaying on my laptop's built-in monitor, everything looks fine.

In case it helps, my monitor is an HP Pavilion 23xi, and my laptop is running Windows 7 and uses an Intel HD Graphics card.

How do I fix this?

Check the monitor's settings to make sure you've disabled overscan.
If that doesn't help do this:

Why can I see the center of the Windows* desktop, but not the top, bottom, and sides?

When only the center of the screen is visible, it is called overscan. This issue can sometimes be resolved by adjusting your graphics adapter scaling options.

Press Ctrl + Alt + F12.
Click General Settings and go to Display options and select Television.
See check box by Full Screen, select Enable.
Click Apply to see if the issue is resolved.
If the overscan persists, try adjusting the image using the horizontal and vertical sliders.

If these steps do not fix the problem, go to the setup menu for your TV. Check the scaling options setting for the input connected to your system.

I fiddled with some buttons on the monitor, and the problem went away.

Problem solved!
