I recently purchased a 32 inch LCD monitor to use for my computer. When I hooked the monitor up the desktop was stretching off screen. My display setting on my computer is 1920 x 1080, I tried going into the LCD settings to scale the horizontal and vertical settings but it won't let me adjust anything it says Not available for current signal.
So did you buy a cheap tv and try to pass it off as a computer LCD monitor? Maybe the highest resolution it has is 1920x1080 all though if thats the case then its odd because that is not a native resolution for a 32inch LCD. Thats a resolution you would find on a 23 monitor. So threw windows you cant change the resolution any higher? If so then its probably a cheap tv that your trying to pass off as a computer LCD. When buying a LCD make sure you check the resolution. Look up the monitors model online and find its max resolution.
Perhaps your monitor's native resolution is not 1920x1080, as many new 32-inch monitors are 2560x1440. Either that or your 32-inch monitor is actually a TV, in which case the resolution could be 1280x720, 1024x768, 1360x768 or any other common resolution. Just keep testing all of your available resolutions until you find the right one (you'll know because the picture wont be stretched or compressed and it'll just look better.) Good luck! Edit: Oh, also, your monitor may have an auto-adjustment mode, which will adjust the borders automatically.
