I have a 21.5 inch monitor and no matter what I try it will not go full screen.

 

I have it hooked up via HDMI and tried a settings on the monitor.

 

Anyone have a suggestion?

Try looking over these settings in

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video

 

It's also can be edited from the visible partition on the SD Card from a PC or in a MAC

 

More info in this thread:

hdmi_drive= 1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=58

 

The above is an example:

hdmi_drive=1 Normal DVI mode (No sound)
hdmi_drive=2 Normal HDMI mode (Sound will be sent if supported and enabled)

hdmi_group=1   CEA
hdmi_group=2   DMT

hdmi_mode=58   1680x1050 60Hz

Thanks Malakai.

 

It turned out to be easier than I thought.

 

I just opened LXTerminal on my Raspberry and entered the following command:

 

sudo nano /boot/config.txt to open the config.txt file for editing.

 

Then I just uncommented the line disable_overscan=1

 

Ctrl + x then Y to save it then sudo reboot.

 

Voila, I now have a full screen.

 

Thank You Sir.
