John Ellis, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5053191&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4060 an update to your BIOS is available (1.47). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  HP Z210 workstation with nvidia Quadro 600 card thinks 32 inch  sharp
  TV/monitor is 37 inch

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am dual booting with windows 8.1 and I am able to tweak the same
  misconfiguration with the nvidia console in windows by shrinking (down
  scaling) the display from 1920 X1080 to 1824 X 1026 resolution....
  preserving the aspect ratio.

   Is it possible to enable the correct identification of the monitor as
  a 32 inch diagonal instead of an oversized 37 inch diagonal which
  makes my top menu bar and application side bar offscreen? I tried to
  install the nvidia (updates driver) but tweaking resulted in a
  missconfiguration forcing a lockup and reinstall.

  Since Windows also misidentifies this display it may be a
  communication error sourced from the display itself or documentation
  annomalies in an obscure monitor ...any advice or direction would be
  appreciated.

  John Ellis
