The desktop and every window is like 1" off the screen on every side of it, windows controls, menus, desktop panels are all outside the screen.

I tried xrandr but i was only able to make it worse. Any ideas what i can do to fix this?

  • yes i am using hdmi. i had the same problem with windows 10 at first, but there was a 1776x1000 resolution option i could choose(the monitor still says its 1920x1080 when i power it up) and that solved it in win10. i tried xrandr to create a 1776x1000 mode but im just losing the display(sometimes an out of range message from the monitor itself) Apr 1, 2016 at 3:58
  • I have a Sony television that has this problem (even when using chromecast or the cable box) but it works fine when I use VGA instead of HDMI.

  • is there anything i can use in Windows 10 that would display the same infos as xrandr --current, either from command line or an app? Apr 10, 2016 at 12:56

Just found out how to fix it, at least until I reboot, if anyone knows how to make this permanent let me know, for now I run a script on startup.

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan on
