hey there. You need to use the config tool and select some lower resolutions to get a bigger picture on the screen. There are alot of profiles you can download as well if you google.

I spent alot of time with the config tool to get a nice working profile for my screen. I made a custom resolution and finetuned it to get the closest to the original Amiga resolution and smooth scrolling.

Look in this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=69938&page=3

Your monitor might not handle 50Hz profiles so have another screen available which you can connect to RGB in case you get a black screen

Here is a profile I made for a BenQ BL912 last year. It has a custom 720x576 resolution which gives the correct resolution for PAL Amigas. This one is 60Hz so hopefully it should work for your screen

Put it anywhere you want. Just load the profile with AGA MK2 config utility

Edit: Also smart to press 'test' before you apply. In case you get a black screen

Go into prefs:screenmode and select the relevant Indivision screenmode - probably highgfx. Then try using the Amiga overscan prefs to increase the size of the screen

See post #67 onwards from this thread for some instructions:

This profile is made for correct Amiga aspect ratio, not to stretch for widescreens. Another thing that I did is make the horizontal resolution between hi-res (workbench and lo-res (games) identical, so resolution switch when starting a game will be much faster.

But you should see the whole desktop. Don't know why you are zoomed in the video so you have to scroll? Maybe you have to go to prefs:screenmode and select hi-res laced (640x512) which is what this profile is made for. You may also need to set a proper overscan.

Here is the settings I used for resolution and overscan with that profile
