Screen saver

[#66]

Just got a new TV (40" Sony) I see that the screen saver doesn't cover the right and bottom edges completely. How do I fix?

It should fill the screen. Can you post a screenshot?

I posted about a similar issue in GBPVR (not NPVR) some time ago;

Is your problem similar, with one line of missing pixels at the bottom and right?
I never did find a solution - I think many users use some overscan so would not see it?

try setting the 'alternate pixel center' setting in ati control panel...it's supposed to fix this..
[not sure if it's in latest drivers tho]
i cant find it in latest drivers...pretty sure it has to do with interface between tv and video card...maybe try manually giving it some overscan in monitor adjustments?
are those plasmas?

Will do a screenshot. (when I get to play with it.!)
Will play with the overscan do da

It's a LCD, but the problem was also on my old crt tv.

I use an Nvidia card, and don't think there is an alternate pixel setting. I never did find a solution and would not want to use overscan, as that seems counter intuitive when using 1:1 pixel mapping (or exact scan) - if the video is 1080p and is mapped 1:1 on the 1920x1080 pixel grid of a HD LCD, having even a tiny bit of overscan would seem undesirable. As soon as I started using exact scan (and removed the default overscan in GBPVR) the missing line bottom and right was exposed - but only on photos, never video, which is weird!
Both my PC's now output 1080p always - i.e. I leave the video card to sort out interlaced video and upscale lower resolutions to the native TV resolution of 1080p

Right, had to take a crappy photo. Everytime i touched the keyboard, the screen saver quit.
Will be etting a replacement OS drive so don't work too hard on this problem as It might not occur with a fresh os install etc.
Anyway, you can see that the black screen saver is off a bit an doesn't cover bottom and right.

Odd. I've not seen anything like that here.

Is that with a PC connected directly to the TV, or via a PopcornHour?

Direct: DVI to HDMI converter to HDMI on tv. Anywy, this behavior was also on my old CRT tv with S out

I suspect it something to do with your videocard and the way its displaying direct3d textures on the screen, otherwise everyone would have the same problem.
