    How do you set up the G73JH to extend desktop to an external monitor via HDMI?

    You may need it for some display devices to get the image to fill the display or scrunch the image if it goes outside the display area.

    In my case, my TV is native 1080p so I set it to 0 to eliminate black bars.
