Help with display issues on a shitty monitor
Hello Lemmy, hello Linux users!
I am trying to get into all this open source jazz and finding a way to give a second life to this god awful monitor/tv. It's from a company I've never heard of before called OCEANIC, and it has plastic borders that actually just obstruct the sides of the screen, which means it has a letterbox-ed view of everything one would do on a computer.
I would love to get a suggestion on how I could possibly solve this problem! Resolutions proposed in the settings don't work but maybe a custom one is needed?
I don't have KDE so I can point you in the exact direction. But I think your problem is not about the resolution but about "overscan". TVs by default occlude a part of he screen, you should be able to change this behavior either through the TV menus or in the KDE settings.
Ok so first of all thanks alot for the answer, I was looking for the appropriate term for ages! Unfortunately the TV has no option to fix this, so I am looking for a software solution, I am tempted to use xrandr but don't know if there is a better or other way. Being new to this operating system sure is exciting!!!
