The image expands off the screen of my HD tv

I have a 2 year old phillips flatscreen television and it's hooked up to cable. While watching cable the screen image expands off the screen on all sides -- even on compressed image. However, I can watch a DVD and it fits fine. any suggestions?

Look in the menu for an image adjustment option. This is used to center or adjust the given image. Try a different type of connectiong from the cable box to your TV. ie; if you are connected by component connection, try AV or HDMI to test. If that doesn't work, look at the cable box settings (call your cable company for instructions) or have the box replaced if defective.

This is common for PC connections but not for cable.

Lc32le10m showing only standby ligth no ligth on the screen

Hi,
If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.
Check the cables, connectors and connections.
If your TV, flatscreen, or monitor is more than 5 years old it is more like to have suffered a component failure.
Take it to a repair shop.

HD image doesn't fit in the screen.

Contact your cable operator and get the settings on Set top box adjusted. This will help you fit the image

Recently purchased a Sony Bravia KDL37EX403 1080p 100HZ flat screen tv. The picture seems to be poorly defined, almost pixelated around the edges of figures and letters - sport is almost unwatchable with...

Your old TV was most likely a SD (Standard Definition) TV. SD signals look better on SD TV sets than they do on HD TV sets. This is normal. If you will, imagine having a tiny wallet photo reprinted as an 8"x10" photo. The image would be grainy and not have the crispness of the original. This is the same principle. Your SD source is being blown up to fill an HD screen. Once you add HD to your programming, the old TV will be forgotten. I hope this was helpful.

No sound on the hd setting on my lcd phillips hd tv

look in the owners manual about installing devices or components--- sounds like you have something hooked up wrong that is not allowing the video and sound to work--- if that doesnt work--- try using a combination device and hooking the two items to it--then run that device's wires to the television

Proview 3200 Flatscreen with HDMI Problem

Maybe the input on the tv needs to be adjusted to work with the cable tv for example in the tv menu where you can adjust the sources for the inputs maybe it is set to something like RGB instead of HDMI. If you have a user manual consult it on how to change the input devices. Good luck.

Black end "stripes" on non-HD images on LN-2341W

Arte you using a cable provider? if so you should be able to adjust it to a wide screen or stretch, most cable providers are supposed to apply the settings when installing the box, so that the screen will auto fit your set, otherwise you will get image retention
