Unable to Adjust Overscan to Eliminate Black Borders

I have a new Hanns·G HH-241HPB LCD Monitor. The native resolution is 1920 x 1080. When I connect it to my x86 Vista Home Premium laptop via the VGA port, I am not able to set the overscan/underscan options in the NVIDIA Control Panel for this monitor, I am only able to do so for the laptop's display. The monitor's correct native resolution is detected, however. My laptop has NVIDIA GeForce 9100M G integrated graphics and I have the latest drivers installed.

TIA for any advice you may have.

so VGA is pretty much 1:1, you can't do overscan/underscan for it. I would play with scaling options (display, no scaling -> this one should work, nvidia scaling). If it doesn'twork i would try some lower resolution such as 1680x1050
 
Thanks... I had been trying those scaling options you mentioned and was only able to access them for the laptop display. I have also been trying lower resolutions. 1680 x 1050 sets the image snug vertically but equal borders remain on sides. I reseated VGA cable and lost access to 1920 x 1080. Strange. Perhaps I should try uninstalling/reinstalling graphics drivers.

EDIT: I have also tried adjusting image position with the monitor's on board controls to no avail.

Thanks again for the help.

and last, don't forget to use "auto" button on monitor itself

Thanks.. I had tried that, too...

So, Success! After reinstalling drivers 1920 x 1080 was automatically detected, the screen flashed and voila... all is good. lol, I really need to find the time to do a fresh install of Win7 on this thing.

Thanks again for all of the help!

That doesn't make sense. ATI cards always used to have overscan/underscan/centering controls for the VGA output.
