Black Border Around Everything Displayed On Screen
I just built a new PC a few hours ago and I cant get my Radeon HD 5870 to display properly. The display wont fill up the entire screen of my monitor. So in turn, it looks as if there is a black border around what I see on screen. Has anyone else had this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Check the Catalyst Control center and make sure the resolution is properly set.
Also, check for a overscan adjustment & adjust it as needed. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build)

@ boohbah
This is not going to enable you too see the Border. Its the monitor that is at fault here.
Go into the Menu on the screen and Select Auto Fit. and ensure your connection it 100% tight.
Also that your NOT using a VGA lead and ur using a using a DVI lead.
Also Ensure you have set the Res at the monitors best.
