    Updated to the latest catalyst drivers and now my external display is letterbox'd on all four sides. Display settings look normal, display is 1920x1080 native and all settings match. I'm using an hdmi connection. Aside from rolling back the driver, any ideas?

    Are there any settings you can adjust on your monitor?

    Yeah, make sure the external monitor is set properly. On my lcd HDTV, I have to use the "automatically fit image" setting on the remote because otherwise it doesn't display HDMI 1080p properly. And it's a 1080p TV so you'd think 1:1 pixel should be easy.

    Na, sometimes the issue is on the side of the TV, not on the side of your computer.
