Monitor Resolution
Hi there,
I jst purchased a New High speed HDMI cable (Type A) with Ethernet (Belkin, 3D, 10.2Gbps, cinema resolution-4K, Refresh rate-240Hz+). But on connection to my Dell Inspiron 545, (24" Monitor with 1920x1080 resolution, 512Mb ATI Graphics Card)), I'm totally disappointed!! The screen display has been reduced (2" black boundaries on four sides). Also the display is very blur. Also, there is no option available to adjust my monitor settings. I'd much better experience with my regular DVI cable. Plz help me as I want to enjoy the experience full HD on my PC.
If you have one, try a DVI-D cable (not regular DVI). A DVI-D gives a full HD signal - just the same as HDMI. It just doesn't carry any audio.
I'm not sure why, but the signal from my graphics card when connected through HDMI is also blurry. But when I used a DVI-D cable it's as clear as can be. I have a XPS 7100 with a Radeon HD 6950 video card. I was freaked out at first when it was all blurry and I tried two different HDMI cable until someone suggested using DVI-D. Strangley, it worked.

So the HDMI cable is going directly from the Ati video card HDMI out to the monitor HDMI in?
* Open the ATI Catalyst Control Center, under DTV (HDMI) 3 Scaling Options or at the bottom left hand corner there is a smaller monitor where you open the configure option
* Select 0% Over scan and click Apply
