ati 5870 help

[PAULRYAN52]

hi i've got a asus ati 5870 but am having trouble getting it to use the fullscreen of my samsung 37m87, i had an nvidia 8800gtx before and that worked great with the tv, but the ati leaves a border around the edge of the screen when using just scan mode, what can i do to fix this

Use the catalyst drivers and find the "overscan" setting.

i have the same thing with my 5850 on my 1080p set, its about 1cm thick (on my 40" tv)
i have tried to find the overscan option but i cant see it anywhere

I take it you have read trough ATI help contents, are you using the latest firmware for your TV.

ati ccc-Manually Adjusting Image Size and Position using Underscan/Overscan for TVs -

1.Based on the navigation system contained in the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center window, do one of the following:
•Navigation menu—From the display palette on the Desktops & Displays page, click the desired TV, and then click Configure in the context menu that appears.
•Navigation tree—From the tree in the Graphics Settings tab, expand TV Properties.
2.Click Adjustments.
3.Move the Underscan/Overscan slider to adjust the overall size of the image on the TV.
Use this slider to adjust any visible black borders around the edge of the image.
Note: The slider is not available for TVs configured to use a custom or the default optimized timing mode.

Go to Samsungs website and look for the latest firmware for your TV.
