Screen size issues

rmilyard

I just installed 5.6 on my Odroid XU4. The screen size seems off. How can I change it?

I have connected to my Samsung 4K TV. It is set to 1080p but seems stretched. Looking in ES the commands at bottom of screen MENU SELECT CHOOSE. The Menu icon is off-screen a little to the left.

Hi all, Problem solved.. go to setting - interface- overscan. Set overscan OFF and restart the system. Now the screen fit the tv.. I tried with 2 different tv, all ok.. rmilyard

ok. it happends on several tv. it is because you have an effect on the rendering. there is always a "game mode" or "no effect mode" to not alter the image and get a perfect image.

I'm also on XU4 (version 5.5) and no problems here... maybe it has something to do with the scaling of your screen... try the unscaled option on your tv-set / monitor.

I believe XU4 can't solve the overscan issue by turning overscan off from batocera menu. Some TVs will cause this issue through the HDMI port while others won't or will not have a menu option to solve this. You can try to change the resolution and that might fix the overscan. Also, according to the Odroid XU4 user manual (https://magazine.odroid.com/odroid-xu4) under "Adjusting Linux Display Output," this command should help:

xrandr –output HDMI-1 \
–transform 1.05, 0, -35, 0, 1.05, -19, 0, 0, 1

Only problem is that XU4's Batocera OS doesn't seem to have xrandr and I'm not sure how to install it.
