I have an Element Electronics personal TV (Model FLX-1910), and it is very odd, The only resolution that will display to it from my computer is 1920X1080, and any other resolution will say "Unsupported Mode" but my switch can display stuff fine. Id be okay with the 1920X1080 thing just to have it to display, but it is too big and the TV doesn't have any overscan settings. Any help?

Did you mean that your TV Element is not able to display your computer content at 16:9 and 16:10 ? but that is a resolution RATIO, not the resolution itself ( example 1080p which is 1920x1080 is 16:9, and so is a lower resolution 854x480, they have same resolution width to/ height ratio but first one is much larger than the second one obviously), check your computer resolution every time before testing to your Element monitor and try those TV remote functions or just go through your TV menu trying different display modes, also make sure you have the right TV input selected (HDMI in your case) and that it doesn't get switched around to a different input in the meantime.
Hi, your TV seems to be able to display UP TO 1920x1080:
- If lower resolution is sent to your TV properly it will display it and all you have to do is increase the size of the image using PSize button on the remote to toggle between : either fill the whole screen (FULL) or just increase the Psize to make it image " taller" (black margins to left and right of image will remain) or toggle the Zoom option
- If a higher resolution ( > 1920x1080) is sent to your TV it won't be able to display it (out of range)
Try testing with a lower resolution on your computer spare monitor, then switch screens to your Element TV.
What is the " SWITCH" you referring to as able to display " the resolution" fine ?
what resolution are you trying to display?
what port of your Element TV are you using ( HDMI or D-SUB) ?
 


Sorry, what i meant by "Switch" was my Nintendo Switch and it can display 720p and 480p to the TV fine (probably because it was made to be on a tv tho)
I am using HDMI for the display cord and every other display device i own can display these resolutions. I use a Insignia TV as my main monitor, and im pretty sure it has a 16:10 aspect ratio.
If my computer can display 16:9 and 16:10, what could be going on with the Element TV? I will try the picture zoom options, but 1080p is kinda screwed up anyways.
I will use 1080p im just wondering why every other possible resolution cant be displayed.
