The problem I have, I have a black trim that outlines my monitor. My resolution is set to the correct settings and all, but for some reason I cannot figure out why the monitor wont display in a full-screen resolution. My drivers are up to date, everything is well.

I built my own computer. I have a:


  • EVGA X79 SLI mobo
    Asus VE228 LED Monitor
    AMD Radeon HD6700 Graphics card
    Windows 7

I've went through the monitor settings multiple times. I see some options that would most likely assist me in fixing/fix the problem entirely, but they are grey and I don't have access to those options.
 
If the monitor settings are greyed out, they may not be applicable to the connection you are uisng. I have seen some options greyed out when using a DVI connection instead of VGA. Another cause may be that you need to enter an advanced mode to change things, read the monitor manual. Try an auto adjust on the monitor, that should be either a button or an option in the menu. But if you are using the native resolution on the monitor, it should not have any borders. Did you try any other connections to see how they work? Are you sure it's the right resolution for the monitor?

Before anything, I will say that no other setting increases the size of the screen I'm receiving. It's currently at its maximum. I've reset the monitor to factory settings and no change in anything. I had it working before, but it changed when I upgraded the software on my computer. So maybe I need to access those greyd out areas of my monitors settings.

My monitors native resolution settings are set to 1920.

Both solutions have failed. Any other suggestions?
