Title:
Image appears cropped (underscan/overscan) on external HDTV display
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I am visiting my parents who have a Samsung HDTV capable of 1920x1080i
resolution (30/60Hz interlaced). When I plug in my Dell laptop
(Inspiron N4010) with its integrated Intel graphics, I am unable to
get the image to display correctly -- it appears cropped, with several
percent of the top, bottom, left, and right missing -- I can't see the
left-hand launch bar or the top menu bar on the screen. This HDTV
displays correctly under Windows.
I haven't been able to find any underscan/overscan setting for the
display driver, either through xrandr or the Gnome display settings
screen.
This is something that should more or less "just work". I have fought
this problem periodically since I bought the laptop in 2010, but the
situation has stayed about the same each time I have tried. This
appears to be a fairly long-standing issue, and from my searching
around, I suspect there may be a common root cause among Intel,
nVidia, and ATI graphics devices.
