- Fix Desktop Overscaling If you Use a TV as Monitor
If you use a TV as a monitor or you want to display your computer screen on your TV you will run into an overscale issue where your desktop display will not fit the screen correctly, this is called overscaling. This is a very common issue which can be fixed either in your TV settings or via your graphics card settings. So if you're using Nvidia or AMD it can be changed. I will show you how to change this setting in Nvidia Control Panel. Adjust Screen and Position, Resize, Screen Resolution

Still helping people out years later. Proves how well put together this video was. Clear and concise.
hleped me out today i finnaly got rid of the annoying problem thanks to this video 😀
Vyno dude yes. 100%
Been dealing with this for over a year lmao
I've lived with that problem for lke over a decade now.. I never knew there was a way to fix this issue.. I feel sooo relived now that i dont need to constantly resize every task myself xd
Thanks for watching
If you use AMD, you can just right click the desktop and go to the top where it says "AMD Radeon Settings" and adjust HDMI scaling from the display tab.
you are a legend my friend
@@AlexCobbXRP agreed
YOU ARE A LEGEND
thank you so much!!! I got so frustrated with my TV. Your method is the only one that worked for me
I have had this problem for over a year and your comment just fixed it thanks
6 years later and this video still comes to the rescue! Thanks a million
Thank you for making this so simple, I've been struggling for a week to work out what issue was and blind as a bat I never bothered to check that part of the control panel, this video has obviously helped countless people so props to you man
It's been 3 years since this video was uploaded, and it's still helpful as hell. Thank you, my tv/monitor is driving me crazy sometimes
OMG same here, about to throw my mouse at something and then I found this video.
Sadly the options aren't avaible in my nvidia
update ?
@@lucasmedon2095 Did some kind of calibration on my monitor (with the buttons on it) and it aligned
still useful 3-31-22
Intel Graphic settings, Display, Customize Aspect Ratio. Then moved both bars on the preview (down & left). Apply. Adjust as needed. GL
Legend! Thanks!
but it looks horrible like that!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!
you saved my life. Thank you
I dont have customize aspect ratio there
6 years later and still the only one that fixes the issue fast others say useless unhelpful things .. thanks
6 years later and this video is still a life saver!! I have a big semi boxy Television and I had to resize it to 1824 x 1026 which is such an obscure size that I would've never been able to get it right otherwise!! Thank you so much!!!
dude you're great, i wish all tutorials in the world were explained like this, clear and concise.
This is way more useful than 90% of the tutorial video on YT. Thank you.
Five years old and this video solved a major conundrum for me. My cats knocked over my newer TV that I was using and I had to bust out the old one, the overscaling was driving me bonkers. Many thanks from across the pond.
This issue has been plaguing me for over a year & I finally found someone (you) who knew how to fix it!!!! Thank you soooooo much!
I've been tinkering with electronics for half my life and I was stuck on this of all things... Thank you for the tip!
I just used the "fit to screen" function of my Samsung 4K tv under "picture size settings. Took about 7 seconds to do it.
@@parkerbohnn my guy most people dont have these nice tv's so they dont have settigns like this.
It's now 2019 and this video just saved my brand new monitor. I appreciate you sir.
Video is 4 years old yet worked like a charm thank you
5 years later and still the most helpful video on youtube
A real life saver, I've probably used this video three times this year, cause my screen keeps resetting.
Man... this was so helpful, clear, quick and easy. Fixed my issue with your video still playing, and was finished before your video ended. This is literally one of the best tech-help videos I've ever seen. I honestly didn't realize I could feel this way about a tech-help video... Alright, I might be going a little overboard, but great video dude. Thanks!
6 years in the future and this still worked perfect! Thank you!
I watched you 3 years ago and here I am again. Thanks, Choom
Thank you, my dude this actually helped a lot. I was searching everywhere and couldn't find anything.
Thanks so much man! You can right click ur desktop and go straight on the nvidia control panel :)
6 years ago and ur still a hero till this day
This man just blessed me with the knowledge I needed 🙌🏻
Same here, I have an old monitor that is inherently super wide screen with bright colors that I love for some games but I was having the same issue here and I was surprised that this first video solved it in less than 30 seconds. Also, your avatar is pretty awesome looking :)
Thank you very much, I was going nuts over this. I had exactly the same setup and I came on Nvidia resize option but didn't realize that I have to drag the cursor using the mouse, lol. Since the area was grayed out by default along with the lock sign I thought the setting has been locked.
Perfect! Exactly what I was after. Very easy and simple to follow. Thank you.
(NVIDIA vCard to LG TV).
Oh man thank you so much! I've been fiddling with the aspect ratio trying to fix this and was getting nowhere but this fixed the issue so easily!
6 years ago still helping folks around the world. Thank you!
For those who dont see DISPLAY icon, you must right-click on desktop, choose Intel Graphic settings or Graphic settings and from there you can have access to your displays aspect ratio and resolution! Cheers!
Thank you that was so easy !!
Ingars Broks so what? :D there are no NVIDIA functions..
There are integrated graphics options, that will let you choose.
I'm in a perpetual catch-22 where I can't fix this issue. When I go to Nvidia, I only get 3D options. When I use the general windows display options, I can see both monitors (my laptop and the TV), but can't make any adjustments to fix the overscan on the TV. When I go to the Intel Graphics Control Panel's display options, it doesn't detect the TV for some reason - only the laptop's monitor- and I'm therefore not able to adjust the output settings to the TV.
Ingars Broks I changed the screen size and now my tv is saying invalid format. I can’t see anything to change it as my pc screen is broken
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! 100% Better I've Been Fighting this for 2 Weeks Now
This was a major pain in the butt, glad someone put out a video to help fix it. Thanks bud!
I have to revisit this video every couple of months and it's a godsend
Worked like a charm👌😅😇
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Zyaire Remington instablaster =)
@Harper Karsyn I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Harper Karsyn it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Zyaire Remington Glad I could help xD
YES THIS ACTUALLY FIXED IT THANK YOU BRITISH MAN

Absolute hero. I was getting really aggravated, but this video is a life saver.
I found this method out myself years ago but forgot how after all these years. This is the best video explaining it.
You, my good sir, are a legend.
You're a lifesaver, my taskbar was 1 millimeter too low.

Thank You So Much. Its Very Helpful
Thanks mate 6years later still helping people thank you sir 🙏
i know you posted this three years ago just had this problem and it worked love ya fam
Thank you my dude I’m very poor and I just got a gaming desktop for my pc and we had to use a tv monitor thanks for solving my problems you earned yourself a like and a sub
You're welcome and thanks for the sub
TV's also have a menu item - it may have different names for example: pixel by pixel, just scan, or overscan - set the TV to accept the output of the GPU if you have that option. For example on my 4K TV it is called 'Just scan'. Once that is set go to your control panel and setscaling mode to full screen and then 'perform scaling on' to GPU and set it to the pixel size and refresh rate of your TV.
helped me a lot thanks!
thank for your comment, very usefull to me
thanks so much. my laptop did not have nvidia but i was able to adjust with my smart tv like you said.
@@keygen6588 Glad you got it sorted out.
Thanks! I've had this issue years and only just decided to solve it. Nice and simple!
my roommate had been dealing with this issue for months and i couldnt find the scaling settings to help him. this video has helped a ton. thank you
OMG THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCHHHHH
But, i have 1 question, when i start to run game, the game still overscale though, how can you fix it?
just change the resolution in-game unless it fits the screen
You're a lifesaver. I owe you a box of Snickers ice cream bars
legend. amazing how your video from years back is helping people today
THANK YOU!!! I was looking forever trying to fix this. My Hero!
Thank you so much your a life saver❤️❤️
If you have a smart TV, go to pictures then picture size. Once in select screenfit and whabam, no adjustments needed.
thank you I finally fix this issue.
muratcan yeldan if you ever encounter the screen glitching from 1080 to lower res, replug the hdmi cable to reset connectivity. some game launchers tend to mess with the compatibility.
Anyway, glad to help.
@@HungPham-qq6me Thanks. Problem solved!!!
thanks dude for your help
@@emreastarc6734 Just don't want people to go through what I did :))
You saved my life. Went around with the setting on my TV for hours. This video save my time. Thank you!
I was soooo close to that tab too and just didn't notice it- thanks for the help!
Thannks you just saved me $250 Thanks So MUCH!!!!!
This is quite a useful tip, thank you so much, one question, I want to use my TV as a secondary monitor, so I am going to put in on my wall above my current monitor, my question is will I be able to fix the scaling on the TV without affecting the current scaling on my current monitor, so I can have a dual monitor setup?
Did u find a solution
I was so frustrated that I had forgotten how. So glad I found this video. Thanks!
I have been struggeling with this for weeks and every vide was just 'adjust the resolution". This finally worked, thank you so so much my dude.
Omg thank you so much, I've just been dealing with it for so long and finalling fixed it. Thanks again
OMG THIS VID WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL, I had literally no idea what was happening and was so grateful to see this vid, thank you so much
Perfect. Thank you for the correct and accurate description. Worked perfectly.
5yrs since this video was uploaded still great
I’ve been trying to figure this out forever. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for this!!! It helped so much!!!!!
I've been trying to figure out how to solve this off and on for about a month, thank you so much!
Omg actually can’t express my gratitude. Tried so many tutorials and finally this one worked. Thank you sooo much
It may help others but with others.
This doesn't make sense for some people because they don't have NVIDIA panel
this is a joke. windows 7??? take this shit down idiot. nothing looks like you described anymore.
JJ U when i clicked right click it would pop up automatically but since i downloaded GeForce Experience i cant find it anywhere?
I was literally just able to fix my own monitor thanks to this tutorial... the options may not be the same anymore, and I dont even have Nvidia... but its not THAT hard to figure it out :/
UFF
@@corykamerud9746 god youre just so helpful
YOU ARE A AN EFFIN LEGEND MY FRIEND THANKS SO MUCH
5 years later. this was helpful thanks
still works, easy and straightforward, thank you!
but what about screen position ? i can now see the full screen but it's off center
Kjshaldj Dasldkhc did you ever find a fix?
same
It is due to your tv making it off center. You have to go in to your tv settings and change it.
the first time I find something about my computer that im looking for
THANK YOU!, NONE OF THE OTHER TUTORIALS WORKED AND IVE BEEN TRYING FOR AGES
THANK YOU. I have been stuck on this for ever now and you just saved the day!!
Dude, THANK YOU!!! I'm working from home the next 6 weeks ('cause COVID-19), and this was making me NUTS!!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Thank you so much. Clear, easy to follow and worked a treat. 👌
Like many here, I've lived with this issue for a long time. Thanks to you, I can now see the minimize and maximize buttons.

Bob's my Uncle, thanks it worked!
i have a samsung tv and in the tools options on the tv remote there is an option for screen fit so try that as well if you don't have an nvdia card like me
That is correct, there are settings on TV also, but not all TV have that setting.
Thank brow, it works for me!!!
You are a genius! Thanks
Thank you....it worked!!!
Just got a 50 inch plasma for a monitor and it had this issue, everywhere else kept saying to do the aspect ratio and other bollocks but you've helped me out here
Finally a video that's helpful. Thank you so much! Happy New Years and God bless you and your family.
How do you do this with intel graphics card?
The setting doesn't exist for me and it looks like there's nothing I can do. I have AMD. The scaling does not help adjust my screen to where the full picture fits. I also tweeked the picture settings of the TV itself and nothing works.
Hey. Download Radeon Software, go to screen, custom resolution, create new and change to CVT reduced
@@solidtoco6896 that didn’t work
@@solidtoco6896 did not help at all.
@@rockerscum It worked for me sorry.
Btw, i still have that issue when i change a game resolution, If you find a solution, please reply here
If non of these work then check if your tv has a VGA input. If it does then buy a Hdmi to VGA cable, or a USB C to VGA cable, depending on your laptop/computer. And plug it into the tv and your laptop/pc. Then change the input on your tv to PC mode. This works perfectly for me. Non of these videos or anything I googled mentioned this but IMO the TVs aren’t meant to view pc’s normally through hdmi. That’s why they build in the VGA input so the tv recognises your using a pc and adjusts the monitor correctly. Good luck!
I didn't have NVIDIA but Intel graphics. But the hint was just what I needed. Thank you @Britec09! awesome contribution.
Now THATS a fookin straight up tutorial, thanks mate!
HELP IM ON THE NIVIDIA CONTROL PANEL BUT THE LEFT SIDE ONLY SHOWS 3D SETTINGS AND I CANT PRESS THE DISPLAY BUTTON
teknn0 I'm having the same problem too. Found a fix?
check my comment, i found solution.
where is it?
cant find it
WHY ARE YOU TYPING LIKE THIS?
It's because you probably use a laptop and an integrated (maybe intel) video card for displaying. You should just right click on the desktop and open Intel's Graphic settings.
Yes you want to keep these settings AAand *"BOBS YOUR UNCLE"*
Thank you so much. I have been unplugging and restarting the tv till it fixes itself. Now I dont have to mess with it anymore, thank you!
YOU SAVED ME!! thank you so very much. I’ve been at this for hours looking into my tv manual trying to manually change it.
