ATI video cards - unable to use entire monitor (1080p)

ATI video cards - unable to use entire monitor (1080p) I have a Dell s2409w, 24" 1080p monitor. With nVidia, I would plug-in the monitor and voila, it automatically knew it was 1080p (1920x1080).

"ATI cards seem to interpret 1920x1080 HDMI as a TV mode and set an underscan of 15% by default.

I have connected up my HD3200 to both a 1920x1080 TV via HDMI and a 1280x1024 LCD via DVI and this only happens on the TV.

For some reason they hide this setting away as well.

In Windows you need to go to the ATI Catalyst Control Center and select the Desktops & Displays section.

Then use the dropdown menu from the triangle on the small screen icon at the bottom.

Select Configure, then the Scaling Options tab."
