[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 523650, member: 76888"] No, resizing the desktop is not the same as overscan I recommend you try 1. desktop resolution = 1024 x 768 2. overscan video card settings = 0% or 'native mode' [img]http://s.lowyat.net/uploads//attach-48/post-285748-1247484934_thumb.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiohdtv1.jpg[/img] 3. set tv mode to pixel:pixel mapping (aka 1:1 pixelmapping mode), on Samsung tv this is called 'Just Scan' Samsung pic mode button toggles 16x9 -> 4x3 -> Zoom -> Wide Zoom -> Just Scan 4. View this image full screen with 100% zoom (ie no magnification) Instructions on how to [B]correctly [/B]do this here -> [url]http://forum.tigerdave.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=357&sid=6c7fad71b969cd1a568634813088cfde[/url] Image -> [url]http://www.tigerdave.com/images/testpatterns/1024x768_overscan.gif[/url] Ensure you have 0% overscan 5.
