Hardware Black borders while connected to gaming monitor

[El_Syd]

Hello, I posted for some assistance a while back regarding display issues here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/getting-black-screens-for-anything-relating-to-original-wii.538141/

To start, here's a summary and update on the situation since I looked into this again recently:

• The screen is an LG 32GK850G-B 31.5" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor as shown here: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-32GK850G-B-gaming-monitor
• I am using an HDMI cable
• ColdBoot Haxchi is installed
• Native Wii U titles are displayed correctly
• Wii titles have black borders regardless of whether they are from the e-shop or Virtual Console injects
• Failure to set resolution to 480p results in no picture other than on the Wii U gamepad

ALSO, I get the same issue with the Wii as well. I'd just like to confirm if it's my monitor which is the problem or if there is something else I can do.

maybe an overscan problem with the tv?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm not using a TV though...

oh, monitor I mean.

Is there a way to fix this overscan problem on a monitor? So far, I see no mention of this in the settings.

I don't know. resolutions and aspect ratios can be a bit finicky in my experience. I have a black border when using snes9x on the snes classic, but I think it's a limitation. the reason I say that is that the same game on the wii u (which has black bars), has the edges black as well. I guess there's nothing actually there. I'm having a difficult time explaining what I mean.
