I've got an HP 2311x as well on a mini mac. HDMI to HDMI was slightly fuzzy. All you need to do as said before is turn the overscan off on the monitor by going into the menu on the monitor.


Menu - Image Control - Custom Scaling - Overscan - Off


If still a bit fuzzy then then maybe like me you had tried adjusting the Display on the System Settings on the Mac menu. So go back into this and make sure you have selected Best For Display and turned off the Overscan.


System Settings - Best For Display - Underscan Off


Wonderful new screen!


Thanks everyone
