Purchased a new monitor for the availability of using 1080p HD. There are black borders all the way around the desktop that is approximately 2-3 inches from expanding the full depth of the monitor. Not sure what to do...

Monitor: Asus VH222H.
OS: Windows 7 RC 64 bit
Video Card: 4850 w/ CCC 9.10

In CCC it's set to 1080p. I click force, and select the resolution.

On the monitor I'm unsure of how to set that... I've looked through the menu's and I don't see a setting to set a specific resolution.

CCC is just set to underscan by default. You can use the overscan slider to get rid of the black bars.

I'm not at home, so I cannot see for myself.

Once I overscan and fill the entire desktop, will the sharpness increase? At the current setting, everything is tiny and somewhat blurry.
