So as title. Hooked up my LCD TV as a second display and am very happy with it. I just have a few questions.

1. I noticed there is a fairly chunky border, despite setting the LCD TV res to 1920 x 1080 (i.e. its native res). I have been told that in the ATi drivers there is an overscan feature, is this the only way to reduce the black border? Why does the driver introduce a black border anyway as I though 1920 x 1080 is the native res of the monitor?

2. Since I am connecting the LCD TV over HDMI to my PC, is there anyway to be able to havethe sound output from my LCD TV correspond to whatever its displaying (and vice versa for my LCD Monitor.

E.g. Have iPlayer running on the LCD TV and have sound coming out of the TV, whilst playing a game through my LCD monitor and having the game sounds playing out of the speakers connected to my PC (using SB X-Fi).

Thanks in advance folks!
 
you can remove the black boarder by going to catalyst control center, desktop and display and there should be something there to help you set up the bezel management between displays. This should remove your black area..

as for sound i dont know sorry :(
 
Check the overscan setting in CCC to get rid of the border. As for sound, I'm not aware of any way to do that, but maybe someone else can help there
