Black padding/border on Benq V2410 monitor with radeon 4890 and windows 7

Black padding/border on Benq V2410 monitor with radeon 4890 and windows 7 I just obtained a BenQ V2410 monitor and a Club Radeon HD4890 video card. Using Windows 7, I have troubles setting the correct resolution. I use the graphics drivers provided by Windows update. I have also tried the downloadable driver from ati.com.

"It turns out the problem is generic to ATI cards with DVI to HDMI cables, where the monitor is ""TV-ish"" (whatever that might mean, but it applies to my v2410 monitor nonetheless).

You need the catalyst control center. In it, find the overscan option and set it to 0. This answer to another superuser question has a detailed guide on how to find and set this setting.

"In windows 7 it tells you the recommended resolution, which is usually the highest just set it to that.

I looked on google and one site says the native resolution is 1920x1080 and the BenQ site says this too."
