Zino 410 graphics card problem
I recently bought this nice Inspiron Zino HD 410 desktop with a 1GB Radeon 5450 graphic card, 6GBRAM and an AMD® Phenom™ II X4 P960 (1.80GHz, 512kx4). Unfortunatelly, the graphic output image I get through hdmi in my Sony Bravia full HD 1080 TV set, does not cover the whole surface of the screen. I did check the resolution with Speccy, and is OK (non interlaced 1920x1080 50 or 60 Hz), I did try all the secreen modes (optimized, horizontal, 4:3, 16:9 etc) of my TV set with no result and finally, I don´t get this problem whith any other home Descktops I tried with this TV set (so I have to discard a TV problem). The image layout I get with Zino is perfectly correct but misses lets say 3-4 centimeters to fully cover the screen. Would anybody did experience a similar problem?. Any suggestion to solve it any way? Believe me that is a very frustrating one. (To make it even more frustrating, the person attending my suppor phone call, told me to call Sony. ...). Thanks.

I had this same problem with my Zino HD 400 & 26" Sony Bravia via HDMI. Easy fix though!
Right-click on your desktop and choose the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. Along the left-hand side you'll see "My Digital Flat-Panels" - In here choose "Scaling Options (Digital-Flat Panel)."
Once here you'll see a scroll bar for underscan and overscan. Check the box and slide the slider until your screen is filled. Click Apply & done.
If you need any other assistance let us know!

The older version of the software is called Catalyst Control Center.
But I'm glad to help. If there is anything else you need help with (as far as technical issues go, I'm afraid Dell support is hopeless) please post it up or let me know. I'll do what I can.

Thanks Gregory.
Bit late but I have to tell you that your post gave my anough hope as to keep trying for days till I finally got it. What is being sold here in Spain as Zino HD410 graphic driver does not include anything like "AMD VISION Engine Control Center" so I had to find it and try to install it in my new fancy PC. Believe me if I tell you I'm not a monkey (as far as I can barely reassure every morning in the mirror ...). Nevertheless it took me a time I don´t think any other loyal Dell client should have. I simply can´t imagine how any product can be placed in the shelve with such a amazing problem. Even more. I´m 99.999% shure that the same happend to any fellow having a Sony TV set, so I recommend Dell support people having the solution you gave me, written in a big post-it, directly glued on their phones ... Thanks so much Gregory

I found that the CCC (Catalyst Control Center) that comes with the Dell 410 Zino does not have an overscan/underscan slider, and the newest version from ATI won't even open (common problem on multiple PCs, according to Google). How I've gotten it to work is right in the registry.
Open regedit (in "Run" type regedit) and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\
In there, there'll be some keys looking like this:
{ECA904C2-25E6-4680-9B2C-44EBC0EC9190} (with different numbers and letters ;o)
Highlight the "Video" key at the top of the tree, and do a search for "1920x1080" (or whatever resolution you want to change) or a search for DALR6 (to match below).
You'll find some keys in subfolders named 0000, 0001, etc.
The keys will begin with DALR6 DFPXXXXxYYYYx0xFF
XXXX= Horizontal resolution
YYYY= Vertical resolution
FF= Display frequency
Before you continue, take a backup of the original keys by right-clicking the {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}-type key, and select "Export"
Click on the key matching the screen resolution and frequency you want to remove the borders of.
A lot of the key will consist of "00", but there'll be a few non-00 entries. Change all of these to 05 (or 00, 05 worked for me, 00 was bigger than my widescreen TV).
Finally, you may have two subfolders, 0000 and 0001, containing mirrors of the same keys (I didn't, that I could see) and do the same fix.
Close regedit and restart your computer and you should be in business.
