When I pick 720p or 1080p the image is nice and pretty, except all the menus and taskbars are off the screen. It makes it hard to do much because I suck at guessing!<br /><br /> This is when hooked up to my TV, I haven't tried a real monitor yet. The TV has no overscan controls in its menu.<br /><br /> Everything I read seems to indicate it's a setting in the TV. Since this is a cheap TV and I can't find the remote I guess I'll try a monitor!<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 23 Dec 2014 05:33 by SHIELDSIT</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41326.1&return_msg=41326.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41326.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41326_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_41326_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">23 Dec 2014 08:38</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Ken (SHIELDSIT) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 23 Dec 2014 11:34"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 20</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41326.2">41326.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41326.1#a41326_1" target="_self">41326.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I assume this is for the ODROID-C1?<br /><br /> I doubt the config is the same but with the Raspberry Pi these things are all controlled by the /boot/config.txt file (<a href="http://elinux.org/RPiconfig">http://elinux.org/RPiconfig</a>).
