Hey guys,

Some help here would be really appreciated.

I recently bought a new monitor.

It supports HDMI and VGA only, no DVI.

However I have a black border of about 10px round the edge of the screen, even with underscan set to 0% in ccc.

It seems I what i need is an overscan setting.

There is an overscan setting on the monitor, which does stretch the image to the right size, but it also crops off the same size border.

I'm really struggling here and would be really grateful for any help.

Thanks in advance.
 
Are you sure that isn't just how the screen is?

Most screens will have a small non-display area around the edge between the image and the frame.
 
Hmm, maybe it is.

Pretty rubbish to have a super slim bezel but then have a 10px border though!

I'll try using a VGA cable to test this theory, I hear VGA doesn't have overscan issues like HDMI does.
 
Have a gander at this: ASUS VN247H - The Ultimate Surround/Eyefinity Monitor?

Aside from the blazing fast response time of 1ms g2g, the bezel is the reason I bought these monitors. My previous trio had 17mm bezel & a fair amount of depth. I used the "stack one behind the other" trick to overlap the bezel and it creates some not so nice side effects. Needless to say, 11mm seems to be the minimum gap you can buy from edge of bezel to edge of image, so don't be alarmed by the black gap between the image and the bezel (2mm). These look amazing in surround and the bezel correction turns out GREAT! I have everything positive to say about the bezel gaps in surround compared to the alternatives (excepting any real expensive or custom solutions). It is not super important, but the bottom bezel border is a bit larger than the top and sides, which are the same 11m total gap.

Yep that's the one, the ASUS, well worked out.

Thanks for the pic, that is how mine looks. Good to know that it is normal.

Thanks a lot.
