If I plug my laptop into the TV in the conservatory paincave the TV doesn’t display the edges of the screen. It cuts it off about 2/3 of the way up the taskbar, and across the first columns of icons on the desktop. Which is a PITA with Sufferfest as it won’t let you shrink the window below a certain size so ends up cutting off part of the screen even if you don’t go fullscreen.
TV is an ancient Pioneer plasma that we got free 3rd hand, and AFAIK I can’t find any setting that lets you adjust the zoom/positioning of the image, beyond the usual 4:3, zoom, etc. the entire menu system has very few settings you can actually change. Changing the laptop resolution doesn’t help either, the TV just scales it to fit with this missing 1″ around the edge.
Is there any way to force the laptop (windows 10, intel graphics) to output a ~20 pixel black band around the edge? I’ve tried setting it up as a monitor and as a TV, neither seems to make any difference.
