    Secondary display overscan problem


    Holy goodness, I registered just to say thanks for this post, what an obscure way to solve an overscan issue - the option only appearing for 1280x720, man.

    Just want to say this worked as well for me! Such an obscure work around but if it works, it works.

    Slightly different process for myself though. I had updated my Intel 4000 series (i7-4700HQ) integrated graphics driver but to no avail of fixing the overscan issue, then I tried the method mentioned here. I right clicked on the background of my desktop, selected "Graphics Properties". Then clicked on the "Display" image of the menu. Set the resolution as suggested 1280x720. This is where it was different for me. The slider bars never showed and it still overscanned but setting it to "720p" seemed to have "unlocked" it for me. Under "General Settings" I clicked on "Center Image" which resized and fixed the overscan issue on the TV, where as it didn't before. Then I set the resolution back to 1080p and no overscanning issues for me. Desktop dimensions fit perfectly within screen without any cut off. Thanks Pete and thanks Maverick!
