Any ATI users know how to fit to screen?

I fell for the 6 billion more colors ad and price of ATI card but don't know how to fit the desktop to my screen (LCD projection TV) in Catalyst. Anything below 1280 width is fine but when I try to go to 1280x720 the edges are off screen - taskbar, close, minimize, etc. out of visual.
GeForce had the adjustment placed prominently in menu.
Thanks

I'm not sure about ATI but with Nvidia, you could set the resolution and screen position with the application, also, look for something called video overscan, this will correct the screen scaling to the size of your HDTV.

Edit: just found this helpful giude on how to sort out the overscan options

yeah, GeForce was awesome, will have to go ahead and get it again
Thanks Rich, but no, wasn't how many dots per inch, was how many inches not showing.
Thanks MrNeeds, the link did it for me, stuff should be in user guide. Unfortunately, ATI adjusts actual resolution down instead of fitting resolution to screen:(

Yes i have 2 ways. 1. go to Ati Catalyst control center and FIND aspect ratio. That sometimes helps.

2: if your monitor has an auto adjust button then press it. it will adjust your screen to fit in the screen. IF that dont work then use manual controls. there will be a button on your monitor im not sure for your monitor but it makes the horizontal/verticle smaller or bigger.


hope this shines some light on your problem
