Overscan

[marcus2704]

I have just changed from a AMD to Nvidea card. My screen res is 1920 x 1080, I have set the resolution within windows to be the same, however the taskbar is mostly gone and the image is overscanned. I am using windows 8.

I can correct this using the desktop resize within the driver, but it makes text harder to read and reports the resolution as being less than the native. How can I fix this without reducing the resolution of the display?

Connected to TV or monitor? Check if you have scaling options on the display.

Should be 1920x1080

It'd connecting to my Samsung TV, no scaling options on that which I can see. I am going via a receiver also, but have just tried hdmi direct to the TV and got same issue. Reinstalled drivers.

Edited original post for my typo the screen resolution is 1920 x 1080.

Update - I just changed the screen adjustment on the Samsung, it was set to 16:9 which has been fine for everything else, to 'screen fit' which corrects the overscan. Many thanks for your help.

Great stuff was just about to point out Samsung call there something else.

It does that also until you edit the input/source to pc,dvi to bypass the tv processing.
I get much clearer text that way.
