border round screen

[black rover]

I'm using a tv as my desktop monitor as i have been for years, was using a 32" then switched to 22", both tvs have hdmi ports which i use, with the 22" i have a black border round the desktop page, about half inch at sides and three quarters inch top and bottom. I have googled this and tried settings,properties, dpi,etc, no change. The only way i get rid of it is to load a pc game, then when i come off the game the screen is normal. Next time i switch on pc the border is back again. It's not a big issue for me but i would welcome some ideas to fix this or know what is causing it. Thanks in advance.

what version of windows please?

after right clicking on your desktop and selecting it on the 'resolution' page
is the model/number appearing in the box labelled 'display:'


or does it say 'non generic PNP monitor

Hi, running windows xp sp3 home, can't find model number or non generic pnp monitor, maybe i'm not navigating properly?
