Hey all,
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer:
I built a computer for my sister last month, and have been in a battle with the monitor to work properly. It is the HH-221HPB from Hanns-G with a native resolution of 1920x1080, and I am using the ATI HD4670 video card.
Here is the problem: When the monitor is plugged in via HDMI, it doesn't fill up the full screen. There are black bars on all four sides of the screen so the desktop (image) is smaller than what the monitor landscape has. Another Newegg user posted a similar problem and I'll quote his post here:
__________
"I could have a bad one, but this monitor behaves very oddly. In VGA mode auto-adjust does not work properly -- it scales the picture incorrectly every time, requiring regular position and size adjustment. In digital mode it's even worse. For some bizarre reason, it almost never allows the picture to take up the full screen, downscaling it to about 80% size. I have adjusted every single setting possible and can not fix this, although it has fixed itself once with no explanation, only to revert to the scaling on the next reboot. Because of this scaling, not only is screen real estate wasted, but the monitor's native resolution is distorted and blurry as if it were non-native."

If that doesn't quite make sense, please ask for more clarification.
If it is plugged in with VGA, it just freaks out and keeps trying to auto-adjust. I sent it off to Hanns-G and they said they can't duplicate the issue, so they sent it back. Is it the monitor or is it the video card?
I am running Windows 7 on the system, and it has the updated W7 drivers for that video card.
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated...I'm pulling my hair out as we speak...
