I have a fit-PC3 Pro 4GB with an ssd with windows 7 pro. When I connect it to a LG Flatron E2290 led monitor via hdmi it shows up fine except there is a one inch black border around the edges of the screen image. The image also feels like its a bit squashed vertically.

It seems like a resolution setting issue. Please try to adjust the screen resolution to fit your screen.

It seems to me from googling this question that it's fixed most oftenly by adjusting the overscan-underscan slider in something called ATI Catalyst Control Center. I downloaded an auto-check-and-install-program from AMD but it installed something called AMD Vision Engine Control Center instead with no options for controlling the overscan-underscan.

Oh and all the screen resolutions have a black border around the desktop. I have downloaded a driver for the LG monitor but it goes back to being a generic plug and play screen when I try to update it.

Please download the appropriate video driver from
http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/fit-PC3/Win7/drivers/ and install it. Then use the Catalyst Control Center to adjust the underscan

I have now installed fit-PC3_Win7_Video_2012.01.12.zip/Bin64/setup.exe. It installs something from AMD again (I don't know what) but there is still no sight of anything called a Catalyst Control Center. Has AMD replaced it with something called AMD Vision Engine Control Center?

Yes, you are right. The name is AMD Vision Engine Control Center

Still no luck on this one. I will try to post it in a general Windows forum.

Update: It seems AMD is underscanning displays that only have an HDMI input by default.
A solution is proposed a bit over midway through the following thread:

Problem is that I have about 8 like these starting with numbers ####### in my registry, so I don't know which one to modify.

Have you tried the razer_76's solution? We can't reproduce this issue with on our side with our monitors, so I can't confirm the efficiency of the solution. I would suggest you to start with the suggested video #####, and proceed with others if the suggested one haven't solved the issue
