HDTV resolution issue

Question

Fresh ubuntu install, Nvidia drivers for 9600GTOC hooked up to a 26" Polaroid HDTV Via DVI - HDMI cable. The native resolution looks fine other than it goes out silghtly past the edge of my screen, how can i solve this?

Answer 1

This is overscan.

I had this problem with our last TV which was essentially just fixed with some messing around with the picture settings in the TV's menu.

Also just check (in nvidia-settings) that your resolution and refresh rates are what the TV's native rates are (look online or in the manual).
