I have a 24" ViewSonic VX2453 monitor that supports 1920x1080p, connected using HDMI. However at that resolution, the desktop goes off the screen. Using the Nvidia control panel, I have to set it to a custom resolution of 1804x1014 to display correctly.
The monitor has its drivers properly installed (the correct model name shows up in control panel after installing the drivers), and I'm running 64 bit Win7 Ultimate. I have a GeForce 560 Ti card, if that helps. Why does this happen?
When dealing with computer screens, many "1080" screens are actually 1200 vertical pixels and not exactly 1080. The boxes may say "1080" but that does simply means that screen CAN display that resolution, not that it is the actual resolution. I've heard some say this allows 1080 vertical pixels plus the approximately 120 pixels of the normal Windows task bar. – music2myear – 2017-01-05T18:34:58.763
But screenshots show the resolution is what you'd expect. – Rex – 2017-01-05T19:19:56.780
could you please tell us which cabling you are using? DVI/VGA/HDMI/DisplayPort? – None – 2012-10-12T10:05:35.517
I'm using HDMI. Updated question to reflect that. – Rex – 2012-10-12T10:12:56.693

according to the docs http://www.viewsonic.com/products/vx2435wm.htm it's native solution is not 1920x1080 but 1920x1200, can you set this mode? From what I read, HDMI before 1.4 is not capable of higher res than 1080i, maybe the cable is a problem?
