    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with monitor Dell 2407WFP-HC

    I usually set my Screen Resolution to highest @ 1920 x 1200 (recommended).
    It has no problem at all (like in the picture below).

    But sometime I wanted to set my Screen Resolution to 1920 x 1080.
    It appear weird after I set to 1920 x 1080 (there are black space in the top and the bottom like the picture below). Normally it will full (no black space) if I use Vista Ultimate x64 or XP x86.

    *PS. I have no problem at all with Vista Ultimate x64 and XP x86.


    Thanks in advance

    What your seeing is the aspect ratio for the movie most of the time its set to 2.30 to 2.40.
    Pretty much it means that its not set to the screen you can see it on which is 1.78 or 16:9 I believe so it has to be shrunk to fit.
    Hence the bars sorry it happens in blu-ray movies as well but once you see a move in 1.78 the ratio it shouldn't be a problem...
    I believe avatar was set to that...

    Also it really doesn't matter what resolution you set it to it will just shrink to fit anyway so go ahead put it to 1920 by 1200...
    PS this ain't exactly a movie forum but that should answer your question lol...

    My bad try adjusting the resolution manually by changing the monitor settings physically by the buttons on it...

    If by chance you have have a Nvidia Graphic card, just open Nvidia settings, then into "select a task" choose "Change resolution" then on the right pane you should see your current display values.
    Just below use the button labeled "Add Resolutions" and put a custon one if your is not listed. ie 1920x1080.
    Click apply , and go back to the left pane to "Desktop size and position" menu. From the right pane use the check box "Use Nvidia Scaling" , cllick apply and you are done. :)

    I have had a similar issue on an Asus Flat panel. Works fine now.
