Overscanning only in fullscreen? gtx-770 sony bravia LCD

[brad684]

I googled this multiple times in many ways with no real answers. But I'm sure this is a question that you get quite a bit. Just bought this LCD Bravia (KDL-52xBR9) I was all excited because ive only been using a 720p DLP for the last 6 years and the over and under scanning problems were terrible. Got home hooked it up pluged in HDMI and boom the Card immediately recognizes the native resolution as 1920x1080 in 1080p, Finally 1080p! opened up Gta 5 and i go to full-screen and its over scanning a bit so Im trying to use Nvidia control panel and change some of the scaling options ive tried no scaling, overriding the games scaling option, aspect ratio, and full-screen all made no difference. BUT, if i choose windowed without borders in GTA 5 if fits perfectly. I also noticed that while in full-screen on YouTube it over-scans as well. I hope in using the right terms when i say over-scan, what i mean is the screen is too big ONLY IN FULL-SCREEN. Everything else is fits perfectly. I just bought this PC as well a week ago but everything seems to be up to date as far as nvidia drivers go. I'm hoping there is a simple fix for this that im missing maybe in the nvidia control panel or else where. Any help i can get will help. THANKS!

Edit: While using Google Chrome I can go full-screen while in youtube's site watching video with no over-scan at all. I was on the GTA5 mods website and there was a youtuber video embedded and i clicked on that video and thats the video i received the over scanning from that i mentioned above. I tried another game just to make sure it wasnt just Gta and it also overscans... Hope that helps with diagnosing,

OK, Figured it out. If you own this TV here's what you do. >>WHILE IN GAME<< Go into you TV settings By pressing Home on your remote, Then go to setting, then go to Picture and Display, then screen, then Choose "Auto-Display Area" To "Off", THEN go to Display Area and Choose "Full Pixel". You have to be in-game or the option wont come up. hope this helps someone

I created an account just to say THANK YOU. I've been googling this answer for days and nothing was working. I even found a mention of the "full pixel" setting on another site but couldn't find it on my TV until doing as you said.

I also have a Sony TV (KDL-46z5100) and just upgraded from an AMD HD6870 to a GTX 970. The HD6870 never experienced any of these issues in 4 years of using it, so it was pretty frustrating that my fancy new card was causing problems. It was, as you said, only doing this when games were in full screen mode and for only *some* videos played through VLC. For the videos that caused the overscan, I noticed that if I turned off "use hardware YUV-RGB conversion", it wouldn't cause the overscan.

Another issue that started happening after upgrading to the GTX 970 is that some web pages (gmail, facebook, reddit) started throwing "err_invalid_chunked_encoding" errors in Chrome. It didn't start immediately and would only be fixed temporarily by reinstalling Chrome. I'm hoping that by making the above mentioned changes, I won't see this issue any more. So far so good, but I will update if there are any changes in case others are having the same problems.

Thank you again. If anyone with knowledge stumbles upon this thread, I wouldn't mind knowing why this is happening with the GTX. It just seems weird.
