Windows 7 Image doesn't fill full screen

[refloghctarcs]

I have looked through the Forum and have not found a solution. I am a newbie so, I sorry if there is a solution to this problem however, I looked and can’t find one.

The basic problem is I have an HTPC running Window 7 and the Windows 7 image does not fill the entire screen . There is about an 1 ½ inches on each side and a 2 inches on the top and bottom that the image does not fill.

Here are the specifications of my system:

Monitor: Vizio E552VLE;

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1

Processor: AMD A8-3850 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~2.9GHz
Radeon 6550 HD graphics (DX11) integrated with the processor (Driver current)

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the system's refresh rate set a 120Hz or is that what the system used? Have you tried 60 Hz?

The graphics card only supports up to 60 Hz so that's what we are set at.

I am running an HTPC and during boot, the display does not fill the TV screen, but it is a different resolution than the main desktop.

Once the desktop is up, I have to use the scaling capabilities of the display adapter to reduce the size of the screen to fit the TV. Are you sure you are running 1920x1080 as an output resolution? Is your monitor recognized by the system and does not show as a default type?

Also, if you were to have a DVI connections, it would give a better picture, but of course, no sound without a separate connection.
