I recently have started plugging in my laptop to a TV using HDMI to play a few games. However when I do so, the screen is cut on the TV display, so I miss an inch or two on each size.

I have tried adjusting every setting under the sun on my tv, and laptop to try and change this without any success so I was wondering is there a program I can use to temporarily change the size of the windows display to bring it in by an inch. Obviously this would look odd on my laptop screen but would work on my Tv screen.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried doing an Auto adjust on your TV because it may just need a little adjustment. Next is to lower the screen resolution of your laptop from the highest going down, depending on which resolution will work for your TV. Lastly, try to uninstall/reinstall the graphics driver of your PC. Uninstall the old driver and download the driver from the manufacturers website.
