I have just bought an AOC i2535 monitor 1920*1080.
When I connected this to my PC which has a Sapphire HD5670 graphics card
using either the DVI or HDMI output I always get a black border round the
Windows 7 desktop. The black border is about 1" wide.
Windows 7 says that it is outputting 1920*1080. The black border also
appears during the bios POST.
Is there a way to get rid of this border?
If I connect my laptop to the display using an HDMI cable, I get the black
border if the laptop is set to use both its own and the i2535. However if
the laptop is set to just use the i2535 then there is no black border.

Are you using the monitor's native vertical refresh rate?

You need to find the underscan/overscan settings for that display in

CCC. They keep moving them around so I can't give an exact location.

The monitor accepts either 50 or 60Hz. No obvious difference.

scanning. Never had that problem with my 1600*1200 display.

makes a bad assumption on seeing a 1080p device. I've had trouble with
getting 1:1 pixel correspondance on TV-like screens before, too -
though not with Windows. Overscan/underscan is an unnecessary
irritation on non-SD screens.
