Image size too large, cannot see all of sports...
posted by violentce on Sep 10, 2007
I've noticed this and it is a little irritating, since I am using Component Cables from my cable box I do not get all of the size adjusting features from the TV's built in menu's.
So when watching ESPN for instance, when they scroll scores accross the bottom the ESPN logo, and team names are partially cut off. The screen is oversized proportionally around the entire screen, the problem is just noticed alot more on news and sports stations. Is there some "fine tuning" features inside the TV that me as a consumer are not supposed to be able to access?
I have a 4 yr. onsite agreement with this TV, is this something that the service provider will do?

I have shuffled through all of the settings of my box (it is a Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HD) and if is set to an output format of 1080i and the aspect ratio of 16:9 with stretch 4:3 picture. There doesn't appear to be any finetuning that lets me shrink the screen by 20 or 30 pixel to fit perfectly. I guess that is all that is needed to be adjusted.

Apprenticehey voiolentce. if you press the # button on the cablebox remote control you can fine tune the zoom by those 20 pixels you want. you are most likely set at zoom 1 currently. thats where i was when i had this same problem and it took me days to figure out that all i needed to do was press the damn # button. i couldnt see any of the scores on espn sports games and its been driving me crazy. hope this helps!

GuruNormallly, if the picture size button on the remote for the television does not achieve the desired affect, then, a cable box or a satelite box is where the change needs to be made.
For example:
A Motorola Cable box needs to be set up to go to a wide screen or zoom when an analog signal is detected.
Some Dish Network boxes have Size buttons on their remotes and also in their main menu.
It's difficult to determine the repair without knowing the types of the peripherals.
Hope this helps.
