| Why is fixing a old television's overscan practically impossible on Linux? On any intel graphics device, it let's you manually adjust the scaling. When you ask any linux user about this, they tell you to use settings that don't work, or change tv settings that don't exist. Why does no modern distro have overscan settings? | |

| You forgot the "why would you need to do that". | |

| What god awful TV you got that still has permanent overscan? Flat panels by design shouldn't have overscan | |

| What a shitty TV you have lmao? Also, you can scale image for TV with overscans in KDE but I haven't used this feature since I always buy normal gadgets and not dogshit ones. | |

| >Why does no modern distro have overscan settings? | |
| because devs forget that some people have really weird setups sometimes | |

| >>92823571 | |
| some older 2000s model flat screen, the thing is, it does have a secret menu to adjust overscan, however it doesn't save, there's no option to save, and it resets every time you turn the tv on and off | |
| >>92823615 | |
| no de has gui settings that work properly | |
| --- 92823926 | |
| >>92823768 | |
| both amd and intel's control panels on Windows over the years had options for this. No Linux distro has this, no linux developer has ever thought of this. AMD did have CCC but that's for older cards. | |

| I'd suggest fiddling with your video timings and resolution using xrandr, this is an issue with your TV not your GPU. | |
| How much is the image off by? Are you using an analog or digital connection? | |

| I've had no success with --transform, kept making things worse, I'm not a mathematician | |
| Maybe I need to give --scale a try | |
| regardless the fact that the transform command is that complicated is one of the reasons why normies can't adopt to Linux | |
| It's faster to just reinstall Windows, update once and 90-100% drivers are installed and preconfigured | |

| because every CRT monitor has builtin adjustment settings, usually advanced ones you don't even need for adjusting everything down to the mm exactly, while fixing the corners. | |
| also, xrandr | |

| use a translation matrix | |
| 1 0 x | |
| 0 1 y | |
| 0 0 1 | |

| I'm too retarded for that shit | |
| Imagine giving grandpa a linux device and telling him to "use a translation matrix" to fix the television scaling | |

| oh he'd be fine. was an engineer who worked on nuclear weapons in the 60s and 70s | |
| but imagine giving your grandpa a broken device that requires video hacks to fix. shitty granddaughter desu | |

| not once did the lintroon stop to consider why it just works on windows but not on linux, seeking only to point fingers, blame, and seethe. | |

| xrandr. | |
| The only catch is that it only works on X11. You can't do that on gayland. | |

| this xrandr shit is absolute cancer | |
| why has no one made a gui? | |
| amd, nvidia and intel all have control panel settings for this exact problem | |
| --- 92828556 | |
| >>92828398 | |
| Use this and play around with the args. I used it a while back so I'm not so clear on what does what. | |
| HDMI-2 is the name of your display port...I believe. Just use | |
| man xrandr | |
| for the manual. | |
| xrandr --fb 1280x726 --output "HDMI-2" --mode 1360x768 --transform 1,0,-40,0,1,-20,0,0,1 | |

| arandr is a gui, never used it so don't know if it has all the features | |
