Overscan Issues On Samsung Smart TV?

[champs4life]

I tried all the option when clicking on edit name. Tried PC and tried DVI PC and still overscan couldnt be disabled.

So is my box and TV screwed then? Do I need new ones?

For the life of my I have no idea why on earth overscan just CANT stay off. Why is this happening. Why is this impossible.

Makes me thinking flashing to 3.2 will be pointless as what will it solve? It certainly was turn off overscan.

I have exhausted all methods suggested as I am really really tired now. I have no more energy left.

The issue is not with your box. Ring Samsung and ask them how to turn overscan off.

I did and they told me the same way I did originally to select "screen fit" in aspect ratio settings and I have explained already the issues after selecting that option.

So take a deep breath

There is a recently updated tip from Samsung (4/10/2016) that shows how to reset your TV back to initial settings - I would follow this, and then you will know that everything is as it was when delivered and any changes you have made can be reset.
I would then use some of the advice on this forum to overcome the overscan issue

See http://www.samsung.com/au/support/skp/faq/1039433

At least, with this knowledge you know you can always go back to the same point

Thanks for the link.

So if I do factory reset I lose all the settings and then I have to set everything up again?

Not sure how I originally had set it up.

Will factory resetting help me to turn overscan off permanently?

Well it allows you now with the experience over the last couple of weeks and the help of the manual perhaps understand better your TV
Then you can try some of the tricks like renaming the hdmi to pc etc or even see what options it provides for screensize from the default settings.
But I would first look at the picture display options to see what is available ...I am guessing that it gives you options for normal TV, cinema or films perhaps light or dark rooms or even (but unlikely) a professional option..... probably anything will be better as a starter than the default

But if you can always reset, you have nothing to lose and much to gain from trying

The only downside in resetting I figure is applying the wrong settings.

You won't know unless you try.

.. reset should be fine and then as Andy said, a chance to play even if you get it wrong a couple of times ...... which of course you won,t

Ok will try resetting TV completely and seeing if overscan disables or not.

I have tried screen position setup to no avail. I probably am doing it wrong which no surprise. Dont want to use this setup as my TV isnt that old which cant turn off overscan.

So I followed the link twol sent me to a tee and I have no factory reset option on my tv at all. All I have is picture reset option.

So does that mean not only I can't disable overscan but I can't reset the TV?

Thanks anyway guys but seems there is one issue after another with no chance of resolving the issues.

You may need to search through your settings to find the factory reset as it might differ from model to model.

Mines in menu / support / self diagnosis / reset.

(Same location as twol's link shows)

Which restores everything except network settings.

I have the A/V settings as 1080i multi scale letterbox. Not sure if that is issue.?

try not having it set to multi scale letterbox

Yep, I have gone threw every single menu but there isn't a reset or factory reset page just picture reset.

Both 4:3 and 16:9 for me are set to just scale.

Not sure if this is the problem or is correct setting.
