    Hello All,

    I have a Sager with a 6900M video card.
    I have a vizio 720P LED 47" wide tv.

    for some reason when I use my hdmi cord to hook up my tv and laptop. the screen is only like 75% filled A lot black room around the screen. Only thing I can compare it to is when I watch a non HD channel on tv it doesn't fill my tv.

    how do I fix this? my mx11 alienware laptop doesn't have the same issue and that's like 3 years old vs my newer sager and mx11 was only integrated graphics.

    Go to the AMD control panel and fix 'scaling' to 0%.

    Good luck.

    This, the default is set that way because a lot of HDTVs overscan. You may have to set Catalyst Control Center to advanced view.
