Screen resolution wont fill up the whole monitor

Asked by bryan

So, I have a 1080p monitor connected through HDMI. I set my resolution to 1080p but there is still a large gap. The resolution filled up the whole screen before I Installed ati drivers for my graphics card. Is there any way I can fix this problem?

Does the screen have an OSD to tweak?
