Resolution problems with VGA

[PremierSupreme]

Hi, I've just switched from HDMI to VGA using DVI to VGA adaptor.

 

My monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080, but now there's a back bar at the right side of the screen.

 

I can also see vertical stripes down the screen. Any ideas of how to fix this?

 

My graphics card: EVGA GTX 1050 TI SC

Recalibrate it, there should be a button called "Auto" or smth.

I think the problem is I have a wide screen monitor.

 

Edit: I have seen other users with HDMI to DVI, so perhaps that will work.

VGA was never designed for these resolutions, so that could be the issue. A good GPU + cable should be able to do it though. DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort are the better options though.

Why would you do that?

My monitor only has one HDMI port, and I would like that to be used for something else.
