I've got a MacBook Pro (Early 2011) set up with Windows 7 64-bit on a Boot Camp partition. I'm using a mini DisplayPort adapter and an HDMI cable to connect to an Asus VH232H monitor. The problem is that using the native resolution (1920×1080) in Windows results in a black band appearing around the edges of the screen. I know a lot of people seem to have run into this in the past. How do I actually fix it?
Some additional info:
- My research tells me I need to adjust an "overscan" setting, but can find no way to do this with the display drivers provided by Apple.
- I've seen many references to people fixing the problem by installing AMD's Catalyst Control Center, which does have an 'overscan' or 'scaling' option you can adjust. However, because I'm using a MacBook Pro, none of the AMD install packages I've tried will actually install the Control Center on my machine.

Try adjusting the overscan settings on the TV. There might be a "monitor" or "computer" or "pixel" or some other strangely named setting that (essentially) turns off the TV's built-in overscan allowances.
