Hello Christopher M. Penalver:
                                   The driver I previously tested, when 
I still was using the old 1.41 bios, was the :

NVIDIA binary driver -version 331.113 from nvidia-331-updates
(proprietary).

  tv/monitor (Sharp LC-32D62U) via a dvi/hdmi 10 foot cable to #4 hdmi 
connector (on tv/monitor which I believe only supports hdmi version 1.1 
but I am unable to verify this)...

a firmware update is available for the SHARP D62U TV series (at your own 
risk and may not apply to my model) which may or may not help.

      I am pleased at least to have finally successfully updated my HP 
Z210sff Workstation firmware bios (which I had failed several times in 
years past... perhaps because I did not reset my bios to factory 
defaults) and I understand a ME firmware update is also available. More 
personal trauma with firmware appears to lie ahead.

     Thank you for your efforts in accurate documentation which have 
helped me to focus and reassess (and search forums for similar, helpful 
and related issues). It becomes , once again, apparent that many 
elements come into play below the surface of what was hoped to be a 
simple configuration change.

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.
