1255780 2012-01-24 21:43:00 Got a Viewsonic VA2248 and no matter what I do the screen will not go full, has these annoying black areas around it.
It is hooked up to a laptop as a secondary display.

Laptop is a business machine running a Intel graphics chip.

Any help appreciated.

1255781 2012-01-24 22:15:00 Might be a setting under the Intel video settings to change it. Something like overscan? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1255782 2012-01-24 22:18:00 Does this happen on all screens? Also intel graphics chips have pathetic output resolutions which could cause this if the screen refuses to display x resolution over the full screen. Also have you checked then aspect ratio and updated your drivers? icow (15313)
1255783 2012-01-24 22:21:00 Only tested it on the viewsonic, no other one available.
The res is set to 1920 x 1080 seems to be the highest it will go.
Interestingly if I go to a lower res the screen does stretch to full size but not at this (recommended) res

Drivers are up-to-date.

Applications are ok and will go full screen in all the normal ways

It is just the desktop that will not do it.
