With the new ATI Catalyst Control Center 9.9, I noticed that some options are very hard to find. I actually spent about an hour figuring out how to change the scaling options for my monitor since the button was really well hidden.
In this quick guide I will show you how to set the over and under scan options for HDMI so that you can watch your HDMI in full screen.
Full Screen with HDMI cable
This blog came about because I was having trouble getting that 100% full screen with my HDMI cable connected to my 1080p monitor. When I connected my HDMI cable the screen was being centered on the monitor and not taking full advantage of the screen
The Fix: It is actually quite easy to fix this problem and get your full screen with the HDMI cable. All you need to do is adjust the over and underscan options within your ATI Catalyst center (also known as the Scaling Options).
ATI Catalyst Control Center 9.9 Overcan and Underscan Options – Image Tutorial
Surprisingly, the over and under scan (scaling options) are quite buried in the new ATI Catalyst Control Center. But if you know where to look the scaling options are really easy to get to…
To get to the ati scaling options do the following:
- Right click on the Desktop and open Catalyst Control Center 9.9
- Switch to Advanced mode if you are not there already
- Click dropdown menu Graphics in the top right
- Select Desktops and Displays
- Right Click your currently activated display under ‘Please Select a Display’ on the bottom right
- Select Configure
- Click on the Scaling Options tab and your there
- Now, just move the scale to the right (overscan) until you get full screen (in my case that was 0%)
This process should work in windows vista as well as windows 7. I am currently using my HDMI cable on windows 7 RC with 0% underscan and with an HD4890 FX graphics card…and it looks beautiful!
I hope this post helped!
Thank You very much for this topic, it helped me a lot, I was f-ing with this issue all the afternoon with my new HD6850, it came to that situation that I had to reinstall the system (after driver uninstall) :/
Hopefully I’ve found this topic, cause I was starting to think that something is wrong with my hardware.
What a stupid idea to hide such an configuration under right mouse click on the bottom display thumbnail!!!
I agree – it’s crazy what they did.
Hi, I just hooked up my HDMI cable to my monitor and now have shrunken screen as well. I went through your directions, but I have Catalyst 10.8. the screen shots are a little different. Can you help get my full screen back.
Thanks, Joe D.
On the newer versions of catalyst, this setting is under “My Digital Flat Panels” in the “Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel)” section. The over/underscan options only show up if you have the display set to 1080p, so set it to 1080p first, then go to the My Digital Flat Panels section and change the setting.
I cant even get CCC to launch. got an AMD Radeon 6870 i just installed. these black bars suck! =/
Jason, how do you set your display as 1080p to get the options to not be grayed out? I’m trying to update to 11.12 but the slider bar is disabled.
Thank you for this post. Thank God there are people like you out there that post such information….there is no way I would’ve found the solution without reading your post. Thanks again!!
Thanks for the help. My only problem is that everytime I play a game I have to rescale. The settings dont change at all but I have to go into catalys control center and that bumps it back to full screen
Hi, I just hooked up my HDMI cable to my montor and now have shruken screen as well. I went through your directions, but I have Catalyst 10.8. tje screen shots are a little dirrent. Can you help get my full screen back.
Thanks, Joe D.
Thanks so much! Super helpful!
I’ve been force using HD 6850 D-sub connection for a week because of this problem!!!
Thank’s a lot for the tips.
No problem – it really annoyed me too for the longest time. Which is why I posted this.
Thanks! Really helped me out!
Thank you so much!! Worked like a charm
Thanks, this worked like a charm!
Had my monitor connected to D-sub just to figure out why HDMI wasn’t going full screen!
This is so much better!
whoever design this interface is the dumbest perosn i ever seen, words can not justify their stupidity.
I couldn’t agree more Ting…That was the dumbest interface ever.But, have you seen the latest Catalyst Center? Good luck with that…updated post coming soon to explain how to do this on the new one.
thanks so much, this makes the monitor actually worth using the hdmi cable with
Problem is that other applications (Civilization V) seem to work around this setting and look poor.
Thank you so much for this! Only spent half-an-hour freaking out after letting Steam update my drivers and watching my display shrink before my eyes, until I found this post.
Thanks mate, this fixed my prob.
Sir, you are a star. Thank you.
It worked like a charm! Thank you so much
I had to connect it via dvi to get the whole sized 1080. Catalyst Center is a pain in the *** to figure out but it’s so cool with all the tweaks you can do. ATI FTW! For those interested, I just upgraded from my old 4670 to a 6850. Reviews said that the 6850 made loud fan noise and that is not true. Compared to my old 4670, I can barely hear it. My gaming rig had serious competition (noise wise) with the xbox lol! Not anymore 
Oh, and the graphics now is just stunning. The picture is so clear and sharp with so much detail. Currently playing Battlefield BC2. Dirt2, and Warhammer Choas Rising.
It’s always nice to upgrade your GPU and BC2 is sooo much FUN! Glad this little HDMI trick worked for you!
Thanks so much. I’ve had this monitor for about a year and haven’t been able to use all 23 inches yet…..until today. Thanks again
Hey, Thanks for posting this man. It really helped. I got my monitor a couple of months back, and so far, I was not all of the screen-space. Thanks so much!
cheers,
Mohan
Thank you very much !! it helped me alot ! i newly got a full hd screen, and i was about to send it back becouse this problem ! so thank you !!
Thank you very much!
You have saved my life. I had this problem with an Acer Aspire 5551-1 (Ati Radeon HD 4250).
Thank you!
Respect, THAAAAAAAAAANNNKKKSSSSSS
thanks for posting such an incredible fix .
Incredible post… fixed my issue instantly – big time kudos … keep this up for others!
Hi,
I am also having the same problem. When i change the scaling options everything works perfectly and i can take full advantage of the game. But ! Whenever i open a game or something that changes my resolution inside the game it snaps back to its former scaling size with black empty space around the screen. And even when i close the application/game etc. and return to desktop its still with black space around the screen. When i go back to scaling options at cataclysm control center i see that also the slider snaped back to its place.. No matter how many times i fix it whenever i launch an application that changes my resolution it snaps back to annoying empty space around screen size. Please Help me ! I’m going nuts ! And everything was workign perfectly fine before i format the computer. I did downloaded the latest version of the Ati Graphics driver.
I have an LG Full HD 1080p Screen 32″ and Ati HD2000 graphics Card.
Honestly, this is an old issue. If you upgrade your graphics card and use the latest version of the Catalyst Center it should be fine. Maybe its time to get an HD5970
Thanks a ton!! I was really annoyed with the HDMI cable the first time i put it..now its fab!
Excellent post, nice instructions, sorted my inability to navigate the (poorly designed and NOT intuitive) Catalyst GUI!!
Cheers
You’re my hero. Noted with thanks.
You sir are a legend!!! Cannot explain to you the pain I’ve been going though,.,. for about 4 hours I’ve been playing around, updating drivers and trying to figure out how to search for my problem until I found this… absolute legend
Thank you so much for this post!!
Thanks! I’ve got several computers in the house with ATI video… been a huge fan all the way back to the ISA days… but now every time I have to speen a couple of hours to figure out how to undo the default 15% reduction. I don’t even understand why they do it! And it gives me a headache everytime. Thanks for helping everyone find the hidden easter egg!
oooooooooooooooooh my goodness thank you for this. I totally missed the “graphics” tab in upper left corner and messed with this for hours trying to figure it out. Life saver thanks!!!!
I have had the same problem as Sarp Serter. Changing the scaling to 0% temporarily resolves the problem and the image fills the screen, but after a few hours, it reverts back to the previous smaller size of image. I have a Radeon HD 4500 series and a 22 inch Asus LED monitor. How can I make the scaling changes last for more than a day?
Good help is so hard to find on the internet. Thanks for the post!
Thank you! I looked for hours for a solution for this problem.
I have Catalyst version 10.11 and I USED to be able to do this. but now whenever I click configure I am taken to the Display Information area with no ability to configure any aspect of my display.
omg thank you man
) i love you
Thank you ! I feel much better.. I has frustrated already
Hi
Ive tried this but i do not get the same options. I dont get the scaling option? I have a laptop with Radeon HD something. Is it because of the graphicscard or what?
Thanks
Thanks for this tutorial! it works!
I’ve changed the scaling option to 0%, but still have some tiny black bars at the side of the screen!
is about 0.3mm…
So is there any methods that can fully fill the screen?
Why on earth do they revert this setting when you update the driver!!!
Why on earth do they hide this setting????
Why on earth do they underscale by default??? (realize there might be a good reason that has something to do with TV’s or whatever)
Jessie, I have the same problem where selecting “configure” takes me to the information page. This happens on version 10.10 for me; v10.12, 11.1, and 11.2 are even worse, they only have one option under the graphics menu, called “Displays options” where I can’t do anything really.
Customer support is having lots of trouble with this, I’ve spent 3 days pulling my hair out
Anyone have a solution?
Dude, you are a life saver- this thing was pissing me off somethin’ fierce!
Thank you so much!!!!
After 5 hours on updating drivers to get ccc working and all, I find this page and it solves it all.
Thanks a ton !
Thank you so much for this. What took you an hour took me 1 minute because of this post. Awesome.
that’s is one of the reasons why I will NEVER ever ever ever ever ever EVER get another Radeon video card ever again.
nVidia all the way!!!!
That’s funny if you want a lot of options, use ATI. If you want no complications with limited options, use Nvidia. Nvidia is playing safe with only options they think will work on all products.
ATI= for Advanced or Experts only.
Nvidia= for For Beginners only.
And thanks for info Joe. Remeber people to disable scaling from tv set too and ClearType in windows 7 (i don’t don’t know about vista’s clear type option). I got wrong picture with scaling on my laptop + my Philips TV and clear type option on.
Let me add my thanks to all that above. And my condemnation over the design of that interface. W.T.F.
I saw other posts of how to fix it, but without your handy pictures I would never have figured it out.
when I go to desktop and display I see 1 monitor with a “1″ but no monitors under please select display. I also have a dual monitor setup yet I do not see the second monitor next to the “1″ monitor.
thanks a ton.
got a new LG E2360V, connected it to my dell studio 15 and have been tinkering with software and hardware for the last 2 days. finally found your site.
thanks again!
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!!!!!! I was banging my head against the wall with this one until I found your post.
Good post.
Imagine even coming up with the idea of setting some random underscan as a default, and then hiding away the setting to fix it.
(Or leaving it out entirely for some cards)
J…F…C!
Those idiots keep dropping their pants and squirting out thesa ridiculose drivers and UIs.
There must be some kind of low IQ requirement to be hired as a programmer at ATI.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I never would have found this on my own!!!
New catalyst control center crashes, do hopefully there is a third party application for this!!
Thanks so much, was about to get violent with my samsung.
This worked like a charm, except for bc2
when i play bad company 2, it scales down the image and alt tab + rescale doesn’t work. i disabled GPU scaling and all, i am losing it! i bought this monitor to play bc2 on a bigger screen grrr RAGE!
help please
Thanx man!! I just got my 2nd new Alienware…my first one totally crapped out after only 3 months…and i had Forgotten how to do it!! PERFECT and SIMPLE!!
I couldn’t find version 9.9 so I downloaded version 11.6. As you can expect it is somewhat different.
But the setting is still under scaling options plus I had to set the underscan/overscan value to about 8% as the 0% made the screen TOO BIG and I lost about 30% of the display, all the gadgets were off the screen.
But it eventually worked….
Perservere?
It is about a 200Mb application and I wondered if I can uninstall the program once I have set the scan value to what I want?
Thank you I was pulling my hair out having just bought what I was beginning to regret. 3 monitors and an eyfinity thingumybob.
I will now go directly to my wife and apolgize for yelling at her. lol
mine onlysays catalystic control centre without ATI and i got ATI graphic card
I tried 11.5 and the update 11.6 and they work to a fashion but they are far from perfect.
I get a perfect display using a DVI to VGA adaptor and a VGA cable to the PC port of the TV.
I am trying to use HDMI connection to a 32″ LCD/LED TV and am sorry to say it doesn’t work very well. It ISN’T as good as a VGA connection
Also sorry I didn’t get a reply to my previous question
Hi, with the Scaling options i cant select anything its locked me from it, i`m using a HD6970, not matter what i do it wont do anything , its just all fuzzy ,
Help Urgent needed , Thank you
Hallo Aj.Just tried your trick but it is not working on my dell ST 2210 Monitor. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v.Just made an update ,but still nothing.
I am using a Dell Inspirion laptop with intel i5.
Do you have any suggestions?
I cannot get my monitor into full screen with the latest catalyst control center that was just released, I cannot find the scaling option, any suggestions?
God bless you for making this post.
Thanks a lot, just when i started hating my Graphic card and
monitor found your post which solve my problem, Thanx again
Thank you for posting this. This was very helpful and exactly what I needed. I must ask though…why would ATI use a default setting that sucks? Doesn’t make sense to me…but whatever.
Thanks AJ
Hi guys,
I seem to have the same trouble as some of you are having.
I have the AMD Vision™ Engine Control Center 11.6,
with a AMD Radeon HD 6250 card but when I attach my LG32″ up with HDMI, I get a very clear picutre but have the black borders.
I searched and found suggestiosn on underscan/overscan but no such options exist in this control centre version.
What has also been suggested is a simpler “Scaling options” under My Digitial Flat panels. I don’t get this option unfortunately.
Does anybody know if this may be a driver issue perhaps? I have the latest drivers
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Conor
I,
Sorry for my english but i’m portuguese.
I found the solution after many tries… and it’s so easy to do…
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CONTROL CENTER 11.6:
1. set your screen resolution to um value lower than highest. to do this simply right click on your desktop,choose screen resolution and change resolution in resolution box.
2.now go to ur ATI catalyst control centre.to do this,right click on desktop and the top most choice is ATI catalyst control centre.
3. choose proprieties of integrated videos (something like that), and select the option: full screen.
4. Click “Apply” & then “Ok”.
5. Now change back your screen resolution to original (following same method like the first topic).
After this, run a game that you wanted to play in fullscreen and see if it works.
Hope it helps! This is working for me.
TPo
Thank you so much this really helped! XD
THANK YOU! I had been using my TV/monitor as a monitor connected to the VGA adapter for a while, but just barely switched to the HDMI connector. To my surprise there was a significant border that was no longer being displayed. This blog post matched my issue perfectly!!!
Thank you!
-Jerame
Forgot to mention I’m running a Vizio VOJ320M (32″ LCD). Figured I’d add that info in here for the search engines to pick up in case someone else is searching for the same issue.
Many thank’s for your post, AJ
Yes, now my display from my media center is filling a whole my flat panel area (using HDMI cable).
But … this is still not perfect :/
Try to use any tool program to display monitors and panels (I used a program named “Monitor Tester 2.1″ found on softpedia site). This program can display (for example) vertical or horizontal black and white lines 1 pixel width. This program is showing that display is not perfect, because – as I understand that – display on the flat panel is NOT displayed using *native* flat panel resolution but is scaled somehow in the middle (scalled by ATi card? FullHD panel?)
Mayby, to get perfect aspect ratio and perfect digital display, I should use DVI cable to connect my mMedia Center with my FullHD flat panel?
Dear AJ
Thanks a lot buddy. I wasted 1/2 a day updating all drivers & what not.
I doubted my HDMI cable which I purchased for 3$ from ebay.
Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the help!!
i was haveing the same problem but the display was larger than my flatscreen so i couldn’t see the tool bar or the top of windows. i tried your solution but the scaling options were greyed out. i played with it and found a setting that allows me to add formats to the display manager. under hdtv support.
Thank u very much dude,
i ve done that before but forgot where to do it again for my New Gigabite 6850
how come when i got to configure it just shows the homepage pls help
Hi
I experienced this EXACT issue while still using my old Acer 23″ LCD in combination with my old ATI Radeon HD 4870. As mentioned above, the scaling (under- or over-scanning) option did resolve my issue 100% then.
In the meantime I have purchased a larger Samsung 27″ LCD and an ATI Radeon HD 5870 (also went CrossFire recently), only to find the issue reappearing again. So, thinking I am already aware of the fix I changed the settings from -15% to 0%, only to find the display is now TOO BIG for my display and that it gets cut off like “Louis” was experiencing. Changing it to bwtween 4 to 8% made the picture fit in better, however I still have a couple of mm border around the edges like “waijun” was experiencing.
Also, no matter what the scaling slider is set to, the image always stays out of focus and seems fuzzy and not crisp. I experienced this too with my old LCD and old HD 4870, however got corrected when the slider was set to 0%. Now however, NO slider setting fixes the scaling 100% correctly.
Anyone please?!?!?!?
I managed to resolve the issue myself! I was a combination of both the Catalyst scaling option (under-/over-scan) in conjunction with my LCD’s own settings:
MENU > SETUP & RESET > *scroll all the way down * > PC/AV MODE > *change option* > PC (was on AV which was the issue)
After that change on the LCD the scaling option under Catalyst fixed the rest when adjusted to 0%
Hey AJ,
Thanks so much for your post about the drama that is adjusting your monitor’s screen size when you plug in an HDMI cable… did save me a lot of time and grief!!
All the best,
J
THANK YOU!!!!!
bought a second 22″ LG.. was pissing me off because it wouldn’t full screen.
Thank you very much indeed. I had the same problem and the issue is solved, thanks to your valuable info-sharing.
Someone linked your post for me here:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=20917201#post20917201
Cause I had issues with driving LED TV’s in a store (tried a few)
like you said, the picture was centered and not taking the full screen.
We did use the “fix” you describe, however, that does not make the picture a 1:1 pixel match. Cause its a slider, you either end up over-scanning a tiny bit or under-scanning a tiny bit. we made it to within 2-3 pixels on each side, which is ALMOST taking up the full screen, its not even visible that its ever so slightly NOT the full screen.
But this is a serious problem, because for a sharp picture, you need exact 1:1 pixels used to avoid the TV from recalculating your input.
Example: if you’re displaying 1920×1080 pixels on your 1920×1080 LCD screen, but you’re not using every pixel, being off by a single pixel, like using 1918×1078, or over-scanning to 1922×1082, the TV is going to re-calculate your image, with the result, that any text displayed looks like dog food, cause computer fonts need to be pixel-accurate to work.
I realize that your method works sort of ok for games and movies, but its no solution to use, an LED TV as your full time computer monitor…
Thank you for this info it helped me out I was going insane trying to find the adjustment. Your blog really helped.
Mr. AJ Clarke,
You sir…are the man! I was tinkering around with CCC for the longest time and google’d the issue to no avail. Thankfully I happened upon your article. For the longest time I just believed that my video card was at fault. Thanks a million!!
I got this week a new XPS 8300 and a Samsung SA350 monitor.
AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series. Windows 7 64 bit
Thanks so much for the guide for scaling options in the ATI Catalyst Control Center
I had the black bars on the top and on the side of the monitor using a HDMI cable
I adjusted the scaling options (Digital Flat-Panel) to 0 within my ATI Catalyst center and I can get full screen with the HDMI cable.
Cheers
yeah that sounds awesome and all, but what if your pc recognizes the led tv (like wise tv the pc) and it shows up no signal?
tried changing all the solutions, modes (clone, extend, merge)
tv lg 42le8500 (led)
grafic sapphire ati radeon hd 5450
there conected via hdmi/hdmi
thanks a lot. The new version of catalyst control center is not exactly the same as it appears in your post, but I managed to find the option “overscan”. I have just bought a samsung 22″ led monitor, and I have spent the whole day playing whit the menus trying to fit the screen area when using the HDMI cable.
Thanks a lot man. I was going to buy a nvidia card. but i love my 6950. but finally i found your page. really helped. You rescued my eyes from this analog display. NICE.
After three hours, scrubbing ATI site, rewiring my entire home theatre system and messing with settings i should have no business with, i found your site! UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!!! I design industrial UI’s (HMI) and this one takes the worst spot on the list….
Many thanks.
Using a Radeon HD4300 card and a LG E2350V display, the fix works ok but…
How can this fix be made permanent?
The Scaling reverts to its default value after a while whenever the central unit goes to suspend or whatever change is made in the resolution by an application
Anyone Help please !
i’v been trying to connect my laptop with the LG LCD screen using HDMI cable. still nothing comes up.. i even went to the remote options HDMI options to PC
Wow after about 1 year of having this card and having to use dvi to not suffer its great to finally find out there is a simple solution great stuff
THANK YOU!
I had fixed the scaling with a previous version of ATI CCC. But even though I knew what I was looking for I could not find the scaling options anywhere – what a terrible UI they designed.
I wasn’t sure how to change it. The windows screen res area didnt’ allow me to go larger. Thanks a bunch! worked perfectly!
This may have been already answered but I missed it, can you help me do the same on my tv? The screen went to a traditional view when I switched to a HDMI cable.
Bobbi
Hey AJ,
Thanks a lot for your tip on the overscaling.
I’m a fresh owner of a new LED 3D and I didn’t know how to fix my resolution. Thanks to you, I did it in 2min.
Cheers
Champion. I’d been looking for this option for a while. What a ridiculous place to have the over-scaling settings, no wonder so many people are having difficulty trying to find how to fix it, because the option isn’t in plain view.
Also AJ your point 3. Click dropdown menu Graphics in the top right
is actually in the top left.
Thanks for your post.
Thanks a mil!! Your instructions are complete, clear and easy to follow. I very much appreciate your posting this fix.
Thanks again.
I had a hitachi tv, just bought; image exceed screen; i took tv back, bought a vizio.
THEN I found this thread (as vizio did same thing), and today I’ll experiment with fixing it
QUESTION
for an ACCURATE change to the over/underscan, is there a REGISTRY setting that controls this?
I did look into the registry, (HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/video….)
and the ati settings reside there, per monitor (can’t make out which is which)
BUT, there is one setting that is an “tvEnableOverscan (something like this) which seems to want a “0″ or “1″ value.
would this fix the problem, or is ther an exact setting that determines amount of overscan?
thanks
nick
Thank you! This was very helpful. =]
My Catalyst control is not working in my Windows 7, i reinstaled it several times and no use. Can you please sugest one reason.AMD Radeon HD 6700 series is using and recent software is instaled too..
Awesome thanks!! Had the problems and these catalyst menu are not really clear…
im 12 i got my hd5570 as a Christmas present for my and had this problem but some of the games still have black bars eventhough my desktop has no bars
Just added HDMI cable to replace the DVI connection and experienced the same truncated screen size. Then updated my ATI video driver and in the latest Catalyst Control Center, typed in the word “overscan” in the search box, which then provided a link to the scaling box in Catalyst Control Center. I then was able to follow the directions provided by this web page and to scale my monitor area accordingly to where the display now fills up the entire monitor area.
i was already thinking of buying a new monitor , but thanks to you , i was all ok !!! thank you
It doesn’t seem to work for me. I went through the screenshots and everything looks the same except the scaling options section; everything is grayed out, but it is on 0%. I still have the black space around my screen.
My monitor is attached to my laptop via a HDMI cable and setup as an extended screen. Don’t know if that has something to do with it.
I have a 24″ ASUS monitor. I bought a new laptop and also an HDMI cable so I could connect the laptop to the larger monitor. The HDMI is not showing on screen when I plug in the HDMI cable. Also when I press the toggle button and F8 the monitor does not change on either my 24″ or laptop. All connections are in properly because I checked it. Also, I don’t have the CCC option when I right click on my desktop. What am I doing wrong? Did I buy the wrong HDMI cable? Can you please advise?
Thanks for the help, helped me set up my Samsung SA350H.
DAMMMM you r the best
Wasted 2 hours looking for this
They should hire you in lg because you do better job than just editing the useless website that does not provide any information
THANK YOU!
Thanks man,
This post saved me from returning my monitor
Thx for posting workaround
Thanks alot!!!! This worked perfectly!!!!
u r a true life saver… thx for mil times…
this guy deserves + rep…
Worked great once I found it on the new Control Center.
Thanks
this “fix” worked but its not precise, i still have very slim black bars on the side and top of my screen, barely noticable but i know to a lot of us a small flaw like that will drive us insane!! so my question is, is there a way to adjust it the rest of the way to perfection? i hope sooo
Thanks! Working perfect with ViewSonic 2453 with HD 6870
Looks like you’ve gotten all the thanks you can handle…
Well here’s one more for you.
Thanks mate. My TV’s thin bezle now looks beautiful once again.
Cheers
Many thanks, I was looking for hours for this, and this step-by-step got me fixed in 20 mins!
Thank You So Much!!!! After 2 days of screwing around with display drivers etc. I can’t believe it was this simple!!! Thanxs again
I have an ATI Radeon HD 4570 video card in my Sony notebook with Catalyst Control Center 11.10.25. My Panasonic TV has a black frame (border) via HDMI connection.
Unfortunately, I can not find the solution in the configuration option, in CCC 11.10.
(On TV overscan option is ON.)
If someone could help would be very good.
Thanks in advance!
Gab
(My Sony Vaio specification is here: http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-fw-series/vgn-fw51jf-h )
I made it! There’s no black frame on the TV via HDMI.
CCC is uninstalled, the rest of it by Driver Sweeper, then I installed the old 2009 ATI Catalyst Control Center 8.6.
Thank you very much.
I was looking for a fix to this, but could not find it until I saw this blog.
P.S: My name is A.J too, lol.
I used my AMD Vision Engine Control Center (latest 11.12 version) with my Radeon HD4200 embedded ATI GPU and my Philips 32″ Led Monitor/TV to have FULL panel image … so I put UNDERSCAN to 0% and everything went OK.
But surprisingly after Screen Saver “session” the screen became smaller again and I found that VECC took Underscan to 15% by itself …
How can this be fixed ??
Anyone can help me ??
migi
I have the same problem. I plug my laptop into the LCD Tv and everytime i unplug/plug the overscan resets itself.
Anyone ?
am o mica problema…am facut ca in poza si am rezolvat problema cu chenarul negru de la desktop dar cand intru in anumite jocuri imi apare chenarul negru la joc…am pus toate rezolutiile la jocul r espectiv dar fara nici un rezultat…tre sa fac anumite setari in plus, stie careva?
sory…i forgot to write in english. I have a little problem … I made the picture and I solved the problem with black box from the desktop but when I get into some games black box appears in the game … I put all the game respectiv resolutions but no results…ani1 know if i must do some changes?
Thanks for this tip it’s been doing my nut in for days
Thanks but no thanks. This seems to work with movies, and some apps, but lot’s of games stil undo this overscan and sleep mode seems to undo it too. I was thinking if there was a way to force this overscan to stay maybe make it have a higher priority over other apps settings or somthing.
