I know this is an old monitor now, but my Samsung SyncMaster 913v TFT monitor always had this problem since I got it (off a friend, not retail). When set to it's native 1280x1024 resolution, the image would be larger than the screen. E.g. the icons on desktop would be 'going off the screen'. This is especially annoying when playing games because I cannot see the edges of screen, missing out on information such as gold count etc.
I have downloaded the driver from Samsung's website to no avail, anyone know how to fix this?
Did you install the drivers for it? the drivers instruct the video card on how to properly 'talk' to the monitor. My parents' have a wide-screen monitor that does 1400x900 native. Before installing the proper drivers it would go beyond the edges and have distorted icons.
Before assuming it's the monitor, try it on another display card.
It is possible that there is a problem in the configuration of the display card, or a defect in the display card.
Is there a computer service place, or a monitor sevice center near to where you live. You can then take the monitor to have it properly checked for you.

Attached the monitor to a laptop, still no good. Guess I'll just have to put up with it
Hey guys sorry for not replying, must've lost the notification email somehow until now.
I did try to install drivers on both my PC and laptop, but still the monitor does the same thing. Guess it's a faulty unit, I did get it free so I'm not too fussed. Both laptop and desktop computers display fine on on other monitors, so I doubt it's the graphics cards.
Thanks for the help anyway, glad there are people out there helping us noobs out in time of need
Cheers
