I guess this is the question to me: Is the monitor doing overscan on HDMI? or Is the ATI driver doing underscan on HDMI based on the assumption that the monitor will overscan? Check if your monitor on-screen menu has overscan settings (or change it to "PC Mode" or something, the manufacturers all have different terminology). Otherwise if it has no settings you'll have to conitunue messing with the ATI drivers instead.
