Well, got a AOC screen for my birthday yesterday (yay) but it is not working properly. The screen itself are 23" but the picture is abount 21" and is centered in the middle, leaving 2" on the sides. I tried to change the resolution on both the screen and the computer, but i can't fix it. Help? 

Try changing the settings on the monitor, and make sure that all drivers are installed properly.

Oh, drivers! Forgot to install those. 

I'd look at the monitor settings too, just in case they're not correct. There should be a "Automatic" button on the screen (if you're lucky).

There is no automatic button, and i cannot access the "image setup" tab in the screen menu (built in)

What do you mean you can't?

It's just dark grey and it skips over it when i try to access it. 

Have you read the instruction manual for the monitor? I'm pretty sure you are missing some kind of command. 

Read the manual, nothing there.

If you have another output port (VGA/DVI/HDMI) try using another or try flipping the cable (the end that's currently in the PC goes in the monitor and vice versa). It seems like the stupidest thing, but it seems to work for me whenever I have monitor issues.

I'll try that. EDIT: Flipping the cabels didn't work.

Oh, GTA SA i in fullscreen when i have widescreen enabled... Can you enable widescreen for the whole PC?

I still think you should check the settings on the monitor and read the manual. Have you done that?

yes, and yes.

Hmm... when i try to use a vga cable the screens says "no signal", so i can't use VGA.

Hello, Officer Vic

The same thing happened to me, its sounds like an overscan issue.

 

Look for overscan in your graphics card settings, it should be somewhere under display.

Adjust the overscan until the picture fits the whole screen.

 

Viola!

I have no idea, its probably something you can change in the control panel.
