Batocera screen cropped

tommkell

Hi all, in batocera UI the icons on the edges of the screen are obscured due to the screen being cropped. I’m running an i5 with gtx750 and Nvidia drivers enabled. Can anyone help with this? Thank you

did you check overscan setting on your TV?

Thanks for replying joinski, can’t seem to find an option for it on my TV, when I change aspect ratio on TV I can see the edge of the screen and it’s still cropped though.

It was ok before I added a graphics card, maybe there’s another setting related to that?

What is your TV brand/model?

It’s an LG 49UM7400PLB

Search for “just scan” option in your TV settings (and search inside the manual)

Ok joinski will do, I’ll have a go at that later. Thanks for your help :)

I had the same issue with an old Philips Ambilight TV screen.

To fix this issue I used this command line in my /userdata/system/.xinitrc file :
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1280x720 --rate 60 --primary --set underscan on --set "underscan hborder" 20 --set "underscan vborder" 4

Change the values to get it works with your TV screen.

Finally got around to trying this out, turns out there’s an overscan setting hidden behind the resolution option on my TV, thanks again for the help :)

tommkell It’s all right, if you always use your TV screen with Batocera or the same hardware. But with other sources you can get “underscan” or uncentered video. And you will have to rescale again and again. In my opinion, changing factory setting on your TV screen, isn’t the most cleanest fix.
