Use NVIDIA scaling - stretches to fully fit screen
Use NVIDIA Scaling with fixed-aspect ratio - fills screen without distorting proportions (i.e. you'll see black bars at top/bottom or sides)
Use my display's built-in scaling - relies on your monitor, which probably stretches to full screen
Do not scale - no scaling, so images smaller than 1920x1080 will be centered on the screen, with a black border around it
* Click Apply and or OK

INTEL
Ensure that your display is running in the native resolution. You can confirm this by pressing the menu button and looking at the bottom of the OSD. It will state which resolution the display is in. If not in this mode, then set your PC to get in this mode. Let's assume you are in this mode and still have this border issue. On the PC, try going to graphics properties and check your display settings. If you have an "Aspect Ratio Option", change this setting to "Full Screen (no borders)". If it is set to "Maintain Aspect ratio", then this will produce borders.
