HELP! Image cut off on my Samsung.

correag · 06-23-2005, 05:05 AM

Hello. I have a Samsung TXN3075WHF. It is a 30 inch HDTV CRT. My picture gets cut off on the right and left sides. I didn't notice it for the first 5 months that or so. I went to my local comcast and they had a display TV with ESPNHD on. I noticed the pillar bars on the right and left side showed the Letter HD, which mine tv shows as well. The problem is on my TV the HD is half cut off on boths sides. The TV at comcast shows the Entire HD on both sides. I than started noticing on DVD. sometimes in opening credits the names and words get cut off if they are to far to the left or right side of the screen. Last of all, I purchased a video game recently called Midnight Club: DUB Edition for my XBOX and That game has alot of cut offs.

I know the first thing you guys will ask is, "do I have the image zoomed?" The answer is no. My cable box isn't zoomed my tv isn't zoomed. I heard something about overscan, but don't know what that is really. Another good example is: when watching Discovery HD, the logo that sits in the lower right hand corner of the screen get half cut off.

Please help me. This problem is so annoying. Besides this problem the PQ is wonderful, better than most HDTV I have seen in friends houses.

Thanks

Overscan is the intentional adjustment of picture size so the image is about 5% larger than the visible area, this is normal for TVs. PC monitors intentionally UNDERscan.

Your TV's image size needs adjusted, this is a service adjustment.

For better info, you can get an adjustment disc, like Avia or DVE, and it will have a standard image that will show you how you're centered & size adjusted...
