A touch of....black ?!

[Spenlard]

My monitor won't expand to the actual bezel of the monitor. It has a little black space between the monitor bezel and the end of the screen. The resolution appears to be set properly, I don't know why it do dis.

 

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

What monitor is this?

Might be normal for the monitor...

Not all monitors are edge to edge...

It's a sceptre TV. I've had it edge to edge for a year before. But I hooked my setup back up a couple weeks ago, now it's dis way.

 

It is in 1360 x 768 RN, and that's only on the right side.

The TV might have perimeter settings to change image size. Have you poked around in the menus?

Just some Sceptre TV I have sitting on my dresser. I have 2 other monitors on the desk, so it's monitor '1' technically. With 2 being my primary. it's resolution is 1360 x 768

Is the left side normal, or pushed too far to the left? Perhaps a position adjustment (settings in the TV) is in order?

The left side was entirely normal. I just moved it, so now it's pushed over on the right side. And the left side has the black space now. 

That is better, since it's 1 out of 2 monitors. So at least I can scroll right over from 1 to 2 without this weird black chunk to compensate for. However, I'd really like to find a more permanent solution.

If you are using it as a 2nd monitor, are you sure Windows is seeing it at the right resolution?

Its number 1, of 3. Windows is viewing it at 1360 x 768, which sounds pretty right. Also- I have no other possible options to switch to. Well.. I tried 1280 x 720, and it looked exactly the same. Which seemed odd to me tbh.

Sounds like perhaps your video card can't push the resolution needed to make it edge to edge. Or it doesn't know what the native resolution of the TV is, and so defaults to a safe one.

What is the model number of the TV?

Sceptre E32. I have a 570 8GB. So it shoullllld be no problem. It's hooked up with VGA cables then goes through a VGA to HDMI adapter.

 

Edit; before this. I had a 2GB R7 370 running all 3 seamlessly.

what happens when you try to set a custom framerate, such as 50 instead of 60?

I'm not sure. You mean in game, or? I am unsure on how to do that for general use. I must say I appreciate the assistance.

You should be able to do so in radeon settings (I'm more familiar with nvidia so you should do a quick search, I at least remember that it wasn't so hard)

Here's what the radeon settings offers me, as well as the option to 'override' my monitor settings.

If you can, override the refresh rate to something lower. It might do the trick.

If I"m reading the monitor specs online correctly, this monitor is 1920x1080, no wonder you have black bars!

No, I just gave a lazy mans model number, didn't feel like typing the full code. It's native 768 x 1360 :p. 

 

Here is the exact model. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-X322BV-S-32-Class-LCD-720p-60Hz-HDTV/15739136

 

So I guess, X322BV-S

This is what I got from the override menu. I know nothing about doing this sorta thing, is this what I should be looking at to change my refresh rates?

Gah sorry, I don't think I can help quite so much from this point. I have yet to become more intimately familiar with Radeon settings, I do plan on building a playground PC so I ought to install a Radeon GPU to learn the ropes.

That's not the way to ask for help. If you don't give full specs, expect incorrect information from those trying to help you.

Yall just pushed right by the issue... He's running a passive adapter, which will do exactly what his is doing and creating extra "bezels"

 

Solution: Buy a more expensive active adapter (it will be labeled as such)

I was under the assumption when I said 1360 x 768 people wouldn't think I was that daft to not know the resolution. It's also wall mounted and not worth taking down for the sake of that. Anyways, I really appreciated the help. and.. I fixed my issue. It was actually a problem within the screens menu. Last thing I'd have thought as I never remembered changing it. Either way, huzzah!
