Question

I can't seem to get the display on my monitor to display on the entire monitor screen, it only displays in the center of the monitor w/ about 2" of black, unusable frame around it. How can I get my display to be FULL screen on the monitor????

Answer 1

Change your resolution (Right click your desktop>Proporties>Settings tab>change res to what you want

Answer 2

Display size has two factors: what your resolution is, which you set within your computer; and what the controls on the monitor give you. If, for example, your screen was set for 800x600 and your display resolution gets changed to 1024x768, everything will shrink.

You could leave your screen res as is and use the monitor controls to shrink it also.

So decide on a screen resolution - 1024x768 is more or less standard - and right click on a free space on your desktop and choose properties, then choose the Settings tab, then move the slider at the left until it says 1024x768, click apply, and yes.

Then, use the controls on the monitor to increase the vertical and to increase the horizontal, not forgetting to center things also.

Answer 3

You probably have a setting in the system BIOS that reduces how much of the actual screen is used for smaller than the max resolution. When you boot your laptop there should display a button (F2 on Dell laptops) to go in to the BIOS setup and change this setting.

Good luck!
