Overscan with DVI->HDMI output catalyst 9.3 ATi X300

Flav_cool · Aug 4, 2009, 11:22 PM

Hey,

I'm hooking up my laptop to my Viewsonic LCD screen through DVI->HDMI. I could do DVI-DVI but that input on the monitor is already taken up by a different computer.

The problem is at the proper resolution of 1920x1080 there is overscan. Now this is ridiculous since DVI and VGA work fine with no overscan at 1920x1080. I looked through the screen's options and "auto-adjust" and position adjustments are grayed out.

I googled this and it seems to be a common problem with no real solution. There was some hack fix for nvidia drives but didn't see much for ATI.

Insights?

Thanks,

Flaviu

have u poked around in the ATI CCC for adjustments?

Yea, but I couldn't access any settings. It will only let me "configure" the laptop display. When I right click the other one the only options are duplicate and extend, no "configure".

What the hell, I uninstalled CCC. Tried again, still got overscan, tried again and now it works? **scratches head**
