Overscan when connected via HDMI to TV from PC with Intel HD Graphics card

[idata]

I have a Win7 laptopwith an Intel HD graphics card. When I plug it into my Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver which displays on my Sharp Aquos LC-70LE732U television, the entire border is clipped off of the screen. The resolution (screen ratio) is fine, and the picture is clear...there is just an overscan issue, so I can't see the left-most icons on my desktop, my taskbar, my start menu, etc - nothing near any of the edges.

Onkyo support said that they have no overscan settings and that it was something to change on the PC side. I am in the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel, and I see where you can make a custom resolution with an "Underscan Percentage", but that seems to do nothing.

My current PC resolution is set to 1600x900.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi shootingblanks,

Have you performed the latest firmware update for your Onkyo* receiver? http://www.intl.onkyo.com/support/firmware/tx-nr609.html http://www.intl.onkyo.com/support/firmware/tx-nr609.html

There is mention in the latest update notes of improving HDMI-Through functionality which may improve your issue. Additionally, when you are in the Intel® GMCP - what options, if any, do you get when you select the Onkyo* receiver from the dropdown?

Thanks,

-Nic

I actually forgot to reply, but I figured it out. There's some picture setting on the TV called "dot for dot" or "dot to dot" or something like that. It didn't change the TV/DVD/Blu-Ray/gaming image at all (for better or worse, which is good), but for some reason it made the PC input fit perfectly on the screen as it should. So I just left the TV on that setting...

...Thanks for the reply!
