another HDMI question

[Nagasama]

any reason why with my resolution set to the highest (1920 x 1080), i still have black bars approximately 2.5" wide on the sides of my screen? this goes for the desktop or any dvd i play.
halp!

There should be an option in nvidia control center or catalyst control center to adjust flat panel scaling or something similar that lets you adjust the picture to fit the full screen.

i will check that in CCC. they are also on the bottom. thanks puddle i'll look and be right back.

Um, I think some of it is due to HD and tv resolution.

I know with my sharp 1080 it still doesn't fully fill the screen when watching hd video.

I think it's under the DTV section of Catalyst but I'm not completely sure.

yes that is exactly where it is thank you sir. i dont know why i didnt notice it before.
well i was able to adjust the scaling to where it takes up almost all. there are still little bars on the top and bottom of the DVD video, but not on the desktop. is it taking the movie out of the proper aspect ratio when i adjust that?
is it just me, or is there like...no difference in quality between HDMI and VGA? i really cant tell the difference.
if it is stretching the picture, i'd probably just keep it VGA.

I'm not sure if it is affecting the aspect ratio, some videos have non standard aspect ratios to start with so it can be hard to tell.
