I had a problem with my new monitor today (27" LG LED TV). There were black, 1 inch border around my computer screen. I fixed that, it was something to do with Overscan.

But when I open a up a game, I get a 3 inch black border, only on the left and right hand side. (not top or bottom) it takes up some of the visuals of the game.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? (also I installed a Radeon graphics card today)

could be driver issues or it could also be the resolution settings in the games, just keep messing around

I've been messing about for around 6hours now, I'm really frustrated!
Searching the internet and nothing seems to be working.

That tends to happen to me on my big monitor with my radeon card. The problem is your refresh rate for that game. If by any chance the problem is occuring with payday 2 then got to C:/user/(username)/appdata/local/payday2 there should be a xml files labled renderer_settings. Edit it with notepad. Delete the contents and paste this in there
