Connecting PlayStation3 to 16:10 Gateway FHD2400. Black bars all sides.

[Coldkilla]

I have a PlayStation 3 connected to a FHD2400 Gateway monitor. The problem? The scale of the PS3 display is much smaller than the monitor, causing black lines to exist on all 4 sides. I understand that I have a 16:10 monitor, and the PS3's 1080 format is 16:9, but I should at least be able to use more screen real-estate. With this Gateway monitor, it is impossible to adjust video scaling with an HDMI as the input, and the PS3 settings do not allow for additional scaling ether. Any ideas?

That Gateway is 1920x1200 so yes, feeding it 1920x1080 it should only have black bars at the top and bottom. Dig through the monitor menus for scaling options. You obviously don't want it to scale at all. Try to look for 1:1.

Funny Anandtech tested that monitor... no funny business written about scaling @ 1080... only with component input at non-standard resolutions.
