Black Frame

panais

Power User
I have my Ati Radeon HD 3870X2 series connected (hdmi to hdmi) to my Samsung LE40A656.
But when i set a game to 1920x1080 resolution there is a black frame around the screen.
If i use an other resolution like 1360x768 there is no black frame.
I always use the latest drivers for my graphic card.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

How are you setting the game(s) to run at that resolution? If the game natively supports a resolution of 1920x1080 then there should be no black bars; however, if the game doesn't natively support 1920x1080 then you're going to have to use other methods of fitting the game to the screen. While it's a common resolution for TV's, it's not really that common for games. Your issue might be a very simple one.

WidescreenGaming has a list of all games and instructions on how to get those games to run in wide screen. Master Games List - A - WSGFWiki

Black frame i mean black (empty)frame around the screen.
