HELP Black Border around desktop

ajtupman · 8 Aug 2013 at 16:32

Hi guys,

Not sure if this has been asked before but I've just bought a Asus MX279H 27inch monitor. I'm running it at it's maximum resolution of 1920x1080 using a Radeon 6950 2gb graphics card & there's a thick black inaccessible border all the way round my desktop.

Any ideas how to fix this? Because what's the point in paying £267 for a virtually bezelless border only to discover a 2 inch border all the way round the bloody thing!!!!!

Thanks for any help

FWIW if you go into CCC under 'My Digital Flat-Panel' you have a 'Pixel Format' setting, mine was set to 'YCbCr 4:4:4' which seemed to cause a slight blur, I changed it to 'RGB 4:4:4' and this made everything pin sharp and didn't seem to cause any other issues.

That happened to me as well

Same, and still does from time to time.
