I have put a DVI-I cable on the eVGA UV Plus +19 USB 2.0 to DVI monitor adapter and now the overscan issue is fixed. Is it correct to assume that when using a DVI-I cable to the monitor that it will be using the digital part of the signal? I notice I no longer have clock and centering parameters when I go to the monitors image control setting which I did have when I was connected vga. Is there something about the DVI-D signal that would do a better job at recognizing the EDID of the monitor? I'm glad it's working but if you have any additional info or reference sources where I could learn more about why the VGA overscans but the DVI-D works correctly I'd love to learn more about this.
