3 monitors, 2 dvi, 1 hdmi - hdmi issue

Hi there I recently bought an eyefinity bundle from overclockers and I've got them set up (temporarily until I paint/make space for the stand.


The problem I'm having is that the 2 monitors connected to dvi are fine (albeit 2 stuck pixels) but the one on HDMI will only allow it to be 1680x1050 as a pc connection or a 1080p TV connection.

When using the 1080p connection the colours fade, the brightness rises and it generally looks awful. I've tried correcting it using the osd and nvidia control panel but it's beyond their help.

Using 1680x1050 makes the colours lovely again but obiously I've lost some resolution and can't run the 3 screens in game.

Is there any way to make the HDMI connection accept that it's a 1920x1080 monitor and not a tv?

Thanks

i cant find much about that model number? wondered if its a limitation of the hdmi port on the monitor?
Only saying this as i have had exactly the same thing on my aoc monitors i just bought and had an issue with the displayport input on the screen not being capable of more than 60hz when the monitors can do 144hz over dvi-d and so had to buy an active convertor for it to work at the required hz and screen size.
i may be of course way off but just thought i would try and help.

is it these?

i see it is them and just a quick thing you can test, plug just the hdmi connection to the gpu and the monitor which is reporting the issue you are having, does the issue still exist? if not then its something to do with the surround setup, if it does then try connecting to a different monitor is it the same? if it is its a limitation (would be surprised if hdmi didnt do 1080p
