Windows not in full screen

Go to solution Solved by PudgyAstronaut,

Upon upgrading to Windows 10 I had a problem, this problem. The entire screen wasn't being taken up completely and was very blurry. I went into control panel and it said the display was at 1920x1080, but that simply was not true.

Since then I have downgraded back to 7 and the problem still is there. http://i.imgur.com/uWQhNmL.jpg

How do I fix this? I am on an ASUS ML288 in HDMI going to an ATI Radeon HD 4800

 

A lot of TVs do overscan over HDMI for some reason, so I am guessing your GPU thinks you are plugged into a TV and is trying to compensate. In Windows 10 or 7 either one you can just download your driver utility for the GPU and go to the digital screen section and adjust scaling
