Overscan Issues On Samsung Smart TV?

...try 50Hz, that's what I use.

Did you try changing it to PC aswell? Editing the name to satelliteSTB does nothing on my tv either....but if i choose PC from the drop down list overscan gets disabled.

No I didnt try that but will and let you know.

I did notice when you click edit names there is LOADS of different options to choose from.

I dont know how to do that sorry.

I jut assumed the TV would automatically adjust to 50HZ or 60HZ.

When using VIX, go to menu->setup->system->Av settings

What is "refresh rate" set to?

They are name labels for other devices you can connect.
Selecting PC from the list does the trick for me

My HDMI input is showing 24HZ shouldnt this be 50HZ or 60HZ as I am sure that is what it was previously.

UK TV is broadcast at 50Hz so if your box is set to anything else the box may/will be performing some format conversions which often leads to unwanted artifacts. A 50 to 60Hz conversion may result in dropped frames which may make scenes with motion look 'jerky/jittery'. Outputting at 24Hz from a 50Hz source may have more unwanted artifacts such as having to duplicate frames every so often, which a can also result in a stuttering picture .

Wat are the AV setting on you box? Menu -> set-up -> system -> a/v settings?

Oh ok, its set to multi.

So that is why I am confused as why on the HDMI input its showing as 24HZ

So could being set to 24HZ be causing the jittery picture I am having on all channels. As it seems sluggish and slow. Doesnt look smooth.

Again on the old image this wasnt a problem everything looked crisp, sharp and smooth.

I have it set as 1080i multi. These were settings I was told to apply.

Multi should work but setting 1080i 50Hz suits UK television broadcasts.
Change multi to 50Hz and press green on the remote to save.
I've found occasionally that the software gets lost after changing the AV settings so turn off your box at the mains for a minutes and then switch back on.
Now check that the TV is receiving 50Hz.

why are you having your picture just scale? as mine are letterbox for 16.9 and pillarbox for 4.3 looking at my et10000 on panny tv.

If you set 4:3 to Just Scale, the old Classics like Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers etc will be full screen n not 4:3 with big black borders either side.

Sometimes The broadcaster has the habit of converting these to 16:9 with black bars down the side BEFORE broadcasting so that when decoded they display as 16:9 with black bars rather than 4:3 stretchy vision.

So select PC and see if it solves your problem.

Ye I changed it to 50HZ.

I just rebooted the box didnt switch from mains and HDMI input was showing at 50HZ.

Hope it stays at that now.

Doesnt seem the picture is jittery or slow/sluggish.

I have the two settings set on Just Scale?

Isnt that what its meant to be?

I am confused not sure of difference.
