help g73 on 23ich monitor

hi everyone. i try find around to find my ans. but no luck. can anyone help me pls i hook up my G73-jh a2 with a alienware Opt 23ich monitor and set 1920 x 1080 but it did not fill up the whole screen. how can i fix it anyone can help me out pls ?

 

I'd fiddle around with scaling settings on your monitor. Also, although irrelevant you should know unless you use the HDMI port to connect to the monitor, you will experience a blurry screen with the VGA port @ 1920x1080. This is because D-SUB is Analog and experiences quality loss at high-resolutions.

 

thank you for your fast reply but i think my monitor do not have the scaling function i am also puzzle why it dose not have one. you are right i am using HDMI too. but it did not fill up the whole screen the 4 side 1inch apart are black color. do u have any other ways ?

 

What is the native resolution supported by your monitor? It might help to go into "Screen Resolution" in Windows 7, disable the G73 display, and set the 23'' Monitor resolution to as high as possible. I'm gonna go ahead and assume your monitor is 16:10 and G73 is 16:9, so thats were the black bars came from if you were mirroring them.

 

ya i disable the Screen at my G73 i have already set my resolution to 1920x1080. sorry noob with all this stuff this is the stat of my monitor hope it helps

Your want to adjust your overscan settings for the TV when it's connected in the CCC panel properties.

 

As Chastity suggested...

With the TV/monitor connected -
Fire up CCC.
Go to the "Desktop & Displays" page and right click on the TV/monitor icon (on the bottom) and choose Configure.
Navigate to the "Scaling Options" tab.
Use the scaling options slider to adjust to your liking (for 1080p devices generally 0% is the setting you're looking for).
Click "Apply" and/or "OK" button.

 

OMG OMG thank you very very much to both of you now it fill fully happy. the step by step guide was very detail. so happy now i can enjoy my games yahoo thanks to both of you once again ^.^ v

 

I am using a G73 A1 connected to an external monitor via HDMI cable. External monitor is a Samsung 23” PX2370 monitor. Both screens are set at 1920x1080 which is their native resolution. Sometimes I feel like a crash test dummy. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it.

The scaling fix mentioned previously although sounds good does not fix the problem for me. I can scale up to full screen size but not to “0”. This eliminates the black band around the desktop image but does not cure the real problem? The image quality is terrible. Photos seem like the colors were limited to a lower setting. It is especially noticeable in the blurry, distorted text although picture quality is also bad.

I suspected the problem has something to do with the HDMI connection so I hooked up the included VGA to DVI cable. This made a “huge” improvement although the text is still a little blurry (soft), not as crisp as I expected for this expensive monitor. Photos look great. There is no longer a way to adjust the scaling in CCC but it now fills the screen. The Asus monitor is much more crisp. I would think this has something to do with the HDMI drivers?

I am surprised that I am the first to report this issue. I don’t like being the first. This is a great laptop and I have enjoyed using it but the trouble shooting and repairs have been a bit much. I hope one of you brilliant fellow users can come up with the fix?

 

After being elevated to Samsung level 2 tech support they informed me that they are aware of an issue involving windows 7 and HDMI. This is apparently adversely affecting the video quality in some situations. They are working on a solution but cannot help me right now. While I was on hold I tried scalling up my screen size for the 20th try. Suddenly I was able to scale the monitor to 0 and suddenly the monitor came into focus. I don’t think I did anything to fix it, I think it fixed itself.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, maybe one of them fixed it? Now I get crisp text and great photos. I am a little nervous about keeping the monitor in case it decides to flip out again. I do have the Best Buy 14 day trial. Have fun.
