Monitor Help.

So, I purchased a second hand monitor today.
I'm pretty happy with it, its in perfect condition.
But I'm having trouble installing the drivers.

Here is the exact monitor I got: http://www.lg.com/ie/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=W2261V-PF&initialTab=drivers&targetPage=support-product-profile&searchEngineModelCode=W2261V-PF

My OS is Win7 Ultimate 64Bit.

I downloaded the Windows 7 thing there, but I'm not sure what to do with it.
Its an ICC File, and I'm not sure what that is.

The resolution is at 1920 x 1080 but it its not using the full screen if you understand what I mean, Its a 22" screen, but its only using about 21" of it for some reason and I'm not sure how to fix that.

Any, and all help is appreciated

Make sure your video card drivers are up to date, monitors usually work grand on Windows default drivers. Also press the "auto adjust" button/menu setting to get the display to fit the screen

Yeah, I just updated the drivers there but still isn't working.
Scrap the drivers problem, turns out I don't actually need them.
But I would still like to Utilize the full 22" of the screen rather than just 21".
Thanks Nick.

Nope, that was the very first thing I tried that doesn't do anything at all.

Anyway, I'm talking to a guy from LG Support now, and he said to try the DVI cable, that did work, however for some strange reason the only thing I could see was my desktop background. No taskbar, no programs just the picture that was set as my background.

How are you connecting? Via HDMI? DVI is a good interface so if you can use that alls good

I got it to work now.
I'm using DVI yes, the other DVI ports were for multiple displays, and the one for only using one display wouldn't work until I restarted my computer.

Thanks for trying to help Nick
