Using TV as monitor - having issues.

RogerMesenseless · 31 Aug 2013 at 23:30

After installing Windows 8 Pro (64-Bit) on my new PC (The one in my sig) I connected it to a Sony Bravia KDL-20S2020 as a temporary monitor.

The image appears to be cut off at the edges and I'm not sure if this is a limitation with my PC of my TV.

I am running the first build of Win 8 on the PC, but its not connected to the internet yet so I can't install any updates. (Need a TP Link).

After a bit of googling I found that it is a overscan issue, but I cant find any settings in the TV Menu that compensate for this. The best I could find was:

HOME > Settings > Setup > Screen Settings > Display Area

But my TV has none of these settings.

Also forgot to mention that I'm running off the Intel HD4000 Via HDMI.

Sony say that the native resolution of the TV is 1366 x 768, but the display resolution in the display menu is locked to 1920 x 1080.

"left,right,mute,center button,mute,menu" will bring up the service menu if you think it might be in there, but remember to be careful changing anything in there - note down the default settings before you start.

Thanks I'll give that a shot

That combination doesn't do anything for me :confused:

overscan option should be some where in your graphic card settings mate.
