    Hey everyone, I know this probably has a really simple answer, but here it goes :p

    So I was trying to hook my m11x up to my 23" samsung XL2370 today, I got the picture on it fine, and I put the resolution up to 1080p (I was using HDMI to hook it up) Problem is whe I do this, about half an inch of items around the screen are outside the screen, kinda like I have it set to 1200 resolution (Which the monitor can't support and it's putting those pixils outside the display...

    Can anyone help me out with this?

    Go into the intel graphics settings and set the screen manually, I mean, to fit the screen, I have to do that in my Samsung HDTV 1080p 32", but in my 20" 1600x900 Dell monitor don´t....

    It could be the Hz or that is not the native resolution...

    I have the hertz set correctly, the resolution is native as well, but in the intel thing I had to adjust the area of the picture to shrink it a little, maybe I will try doing that on the monitor side...

    I got it, had to set my monitor settings to "screen to fit" Instead of 16x9
