<p dir="auto">Total noob here, trying to set up the interface for MagicMirror. So far everything has been pretty straightforward, except for one problem:</p>
<p dir="auto">The resolution doesn’t really go full-size. Check out this Image:<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1516030595761-snapchat-1441988271.jpg" alt="0_1516030593357_Snapchat-1441988271.jpg" class="img-markdown  img-fluid" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Its fit correctly to the left and bottom size, but top and right are not being used. I set the MM css to white background to demonstrate what it looks like in the picture</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve been playing around with boot/config and trying different overscan options, and disabling overscan but i’m not really sure this is the issue at all… ?</p>
<p dir="auto">The monitor is an LG W2040s and according to the TVService the preferred hdmi mode was 83 (which im running in the boot/config)</p>
<p dir="auto">The monitor is running VGA to HDMI (Via adapter), and i had to force HDMI to boost 11 to remove some flickering (monitor turning on and off after a while) as well…</p>
<p dir="auto">Any help appreciated!</p>
<p dir="auto">Best regards,<br />
Peter</p>

<p dir="auto">Looking at the config you posted…it looks like you have removed the # signs to uncomment you code?</p>

<p dir="auto">have u tried <code>sudo raspi-config</code> ?<br />
Go to advanced and then to resolution.</p>

<p dir="auto">I tried but it didnt make a difference… i guess its like setting the mode and stuff in the boot/config but through the interface instead ? :|</p>

<p dir="auto">There’s just one option for “resolution” on the physical monitor settings, and that is to move the “frame”. i.e i can make the white drawed surface move around, but i can’t reduce the black frame…  :(</p>

This is my current  boot/config</p>
<pre><code># uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
disable_overscan=1

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=10
#overscan_right=-1000
#overscan_top=-512
#overscan_bottom=-256

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=83

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=1

# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
config_hdmi_boost=11

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

# Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module
#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on
display_rotate=1
avoid_warnings=1

Any thoughts on what could be missing?
