The point of that article was that unless you’re using a digital connnection (DVI - via DVI to HDMI adapter -, HDMI or Displayport), the scaling options are not available. Analogue (VGA and S-Video) and are not supported for scaling options. You will need a display capable of the aforementioned three connection ports for that to work. Otherwise, you’re going to be stuck with the black borders.
So essentially, if your DVI adapter was a DVI (to the display) and HDMI (to the GPU port), you should have had the availability of the scaling options (because that would be an entirely digital connection). If this was a VGA (to the display) and DVI (to the GPU), scaling options would still not be supported because that is not a digital connection, because of the VGA end (analogue).
Can you perhaps give us your display's model number (should be on the back somewhere)? It's possible you can adjust this natively on the display, but that's a big maybe. It entirely depends on what your display is and what its options are. We might able to look into it and figure it out. But we can't do that without knowing the specific model (and this also hinges on if the manual or specifications are still available for it online too).
