I have an older TV, and this was the only thing that helped. However, the changes made only seem to affect the one calibrate screen display and the TV shows I watch. Is there any way I can make it take effect over the regular UI? I'm losing a bunch of options, as the overscan is really bad.

Have you tried using Netflix in Kodi? I know Kodi has a overscan adjuster within it's app that works.

But the WM Overscan commands have no effect in the main menu and in video playback from amazon prime.<br /><br />Also, es Olivier mentioned above, the Netflix picture is messed up.<br /><br />I tried a nother solution: I have also a fire tv box (second generation) for my 8 years old main tv. In this Box, its possible to fix overscan manually on the calibration screen.<br /><br />I connected this box on my 12 year old samsung and did the calibration. It works: No more overcan in all the menus and the movies. Also Netflix Testpatterns are correct.<br /><br />I use now the Stick for my newer tv which is capable to turn off overscan and the box for my old samsung.<br /><br />But now the next problem: The picture is perfect now, but i have jittering/stuttering in the movies. This problem is'nt there when the box is connected on my newer tv and also doesnt exist when i connect the stick to my older tv.<br /><br />It's very annoying. I would prefer to use the stick on my older tv (cause of the jittering the box causes) but i cant live with the overscan. I wonder if there are additional commands via adb debugging to fix the overscan-problem for the whole stick (and not only in the calibration screen and some sub menus).<br />Vortex81noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834591349436314089.post-36465526972115454382018-01-22T11:40:11.463-05:002018-01-22T11:40:11.463-05:00My assumption would be to set all values to 0.

Right and bottom margins are messed up. Actually the margin value is added instead of being substracted. So it is even worse than not applying any overscan setting :'(Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145134969568807204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834591349436314089.post-37084132420437916352017-12-23T14:16:52.402-05:002017-12-23T14:16:52.402-05:00Cool!

No need to reboot each time :)liliviernoreply@blogger.com
