Posted August 31, 2015 Hey guys, I recently got a PC upgrade and am finally able to run games at native 1080p on my 23.7" TV Monitor. (LG FLATRON M237WAP). But theres this huge bummer. Few games that I have (FC4, NFS-MW 2012), act really weird in 1080p full screen mode. The colours are too much, and everything seems alaised and blocky( as if upscaled) and although all the game elements fit on the screen, Fraps doesnt. So everytime this happens, Im forced to run on Borderless Windows, which fixes the issue. For most games, this issue occurs the first time the game is launched, and gets permanently fixed when i change the resolution back and forth ingame. For others, it doesnt seem to want to fix itself. I found a supposed "fix" for the exact same issue here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/111168-13-htpc-graphics-vsync-glitch-fixed although this didnt work for me. Anyone who understands what going on, please help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 31, 2015 Some sort of overscanning maybe? Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here! Local asshole and 6th generation console enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2015 If that's a HDMI connection or DP, check for an overscan setting. I know on AMD video cards, hdmi has an overscan set at less than maximum, causing black borders and a non fullscreen image, and you can go into the control panel (CCC) and set it back to 100%. There should also be some sort of overscan setting on the monitor or OSD options. If I select overscan on my monitor through displayport (on a computer), the image becomes 'bigger' than the physical screen and interpolated. I guess that's to compensate for the video card "Underscan" (overscan) default option of 10% or something. Like what's the point of such a setting anyway? In CRT days, such settings were to prevent edge screen artifacts and imperfections that would happen if the image were extended to the edges of the screen....

And where would i find this overscan setting exactly? For Nvidia GPUs? Thanks Edit: I believe overscanning fixes only issues that are desktop related. The whole story changes when you get into a game (at fullscreen mode) . Thats the issue Im having Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It screws up when games go into fullscreen mode did you try it? does the desktop work fine? have you tried a driver reinstall?

Posted August 31, 2015 Disable overscanning on the TV, don't look on the computer. The only thing you can do there is compensate for it, at the cost of quality.
