display will not fit to screen

[Lunix89]

for some reason, my display will not fit to screen with 1980x1080. ive enterd CCC, and clicked on desktop management tab, then creating and arranging desktops, clicked the black triangle, but the only options that gives me is to rotate and identify.

now, in the ccc i have also been to desktop properties, but i can only get the display to fit to screen by going from hdtv to basic, and selecting 1680x1050. but its not a crisp, nice quality display like 1980x1080 is meant to be.

help !

Have you tried going to Screen Resolution/Advance Settings/Graphics Properties. Do you have an integrated video card?

make sure that your refresh rates are the same in ccc as what are native to your monitor that fixed mine monitor is a 60hz ccc auto detected it for 85hx then I put it to the native 60hz and all was good --- also check windows display settings to see if they also match

Go to the video card settings, and choose the resolution you want to use. Why is your card detecting your card as an HDTV as you said in your post? you said you had to change it from hdtv to basic?

both are set to 60hz.

AH i took out the hdmi cable i was using and plugged in the dvi-d and it fixed it. why though would the hdmi not allow the resolution to work properly?
