Samsung 26" LCD Screen Display Cutoff

Oct 18, 2010 12:35AM PDT

I have a Samsung 26? LCD TV and recently upgraded to HDTV via comcast.net.

My screen display overlaps screen edges, i.e. there is image cutout on all sides. I cannot shrink size of screen display so I see 100% of display. I tried remote control P.SIZE button. Best setting is ?Screen Fit? but there?s still image cutoff.

On boot-up I get flash display: - ?HDM1/DV1 - No Time Information (1280 x 720 @ 60Hz).?

I don?t recall this issue before upgrading to HDTV, but Comcast says it is not their problem. What to do?

shamrock838,

Are you connected to a box? If so, switch the TV aspect ratio settings to 16x9 and then adjust the cable box output resolution and aspect settings.

The INFO bar that notes the resolution and Hz. is normal - it's the TV telling you what signal is being detected, and this is normal.

Does that help?

HD Tech,

Sorry not to rely sooner. Been out of town - then I was under the weather.

My S-I-L (son-in-law) took a hands-on, on-site look at my Samsung and improved the picture display to 95% of perfect through a reasonable work-around. I won't bore you with the details.

Thanks for replying in any event.
