tv screen cuts sides and bottom of pic..

[andie22]

hope i can explain this as i am female and not too tech savvy..just bought a samsung 22 inch tv( have an hdmi cable)..its a great pic, however the bottom and sides do not fully show up, no matter what size i set the pic..example, watching qvc, the left side which shows price and name of item is cut in half..as is the bottom of screen on fox, cnn etc. so i only see half of the announcements..have looked at manual and all the tv settings but i cant fix this..

Push the blue "P.SIZE" button on the remote until you get the correct picture. "Just Scan" should show the whole frame.

i;ve done that 100s 0f times..no luck..should add this tv connects to a cablevisoin dvr..

Make sure your cable box is set to output 16:9 at the HDMI port. And that it's not set to zoom or some such.

how can i find this out on the cable box? where do i look?

I don't know your cable box. But there's usually a setup button on the remote. Walk through the menus looking for video options. There may also be a format, screen size, or zoom option on the cable remote.

What does your TV say about the input resolution when you press the Info button on its remote?

youre right, there is a way to size the pic with the remote..placed it on "full" and now i see all the script..thanks to all for solving this problem..
