Hello, I am having a problem with a Asus computer monitor. When I boot up the pc, there is a black border around the screen. I can see everything. The monitor has no auto adjust button. When i plug it into a hdtv, I see evrything fine. Whats going on?
 
What are your system specs please. It's probably a scaling issue. Go into your GPU's control panel (ATI Catalyst for ATI and Nvidia Control Panel for Nvidia) and change the scaling/resoltuion.
 
Yes, but when the desktop resolution is at 1920x1080, and crysis is 1920x1080, it still creates a border effect. And the game is running at that resolution. The pc even does it on my 3d LED hdtv, which is also 1080p, this problem started yesterday.

No, it isn't. If you aren't getting the black borders in Windows when you're not running the game then I'm certain it's a software issue.

That's normal for the BIOS when you have an LCD, and if you mean the Windows boot screen, that's normal as well with an LCD.

No, its not normal. I have 4 lcd's in my house and not one of them do this. I've seen this on laptops until the proper video drivers get installed though. So its possible that the video card may be going bad or the correct drivers still aren't installed.

Sir, I've had about 5 laptops to date, and all but one has borders around the screen when I enter the BIOS or boot Windows.
And I've had two LCDs as well. They both did this, but I found a setting in them that was called auto-zoom or something like that which would expand the resolution across the whole screen.

Newer LCDs may have this set by default, however.
