My screen size has gone really big (p size setting on 16:9), how do I get back into a normal wide screen mode within the p setting ratio. For example, the words are now have off screen?

Look for button labeled ratio, push as many times as it takes to get right size,usually 16:9. If you are using a cable box/satellite box the pix size could also be adjusted within its menu. but first be sure the TV is properly set to 16:9

my samsung has a blue button on the lower right side of the remote the botton is labled (P-size) pressing the button cycles the set for the several screen size functions.--Wide Fit--4:3--16:9. If you are watching network TV on an antenna you will get a full picture on 16:9, but you may be watching on cable without HD.

Go to picture/video settings and make sure your screen size is set for 16:9 or wide screen ratio.............

If you have dish or cable go into menu settings and check and make sure the same is true

Sometimes on the remote there is a picture size/mode button you can press to change the screen size

Normal or Wide would be widescreen
Stretch is zoomed picture that fills the screen
Letterbox is the square box screen

It sounds like a picture setting problem to me
I would try those things first

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_54ae41aaaffbab00

I found the user manual online, and the pictures in it are really helpful and make this make a lot more sense, but:
1. Press [SCREEN MODE], to switch the TV aspect ratio.
2. Press [SCREEN MODE] repeatedly until the normal screen displays.
NOTE: • Some programs may not offer all display mode options.
4:3 Programming
[Sidebar] Sidebar displays a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size. Sidebars will be displayed on the right and left edges of the screen.
[Full] Full displays a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen.
[Cinema] Cinema displays a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with less horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen because a little bit of the top and bottom edge of the screen will be cut off.
[Wide] Wide displays the center of the picture as original size and the outer sides of the picture will be elongated. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
16:9 Programming
[Full] A picture is displayed at 16:9 size as it is.
[Zoom] Zoom displays a 16:9 picture without changing its horizontal and vertical ratio, at its maximum size.
[Cinema] Cinema displays a 16:9 picture with vertical elongation.
[Expand] Expand displays a 16:9 picture with horizontal elongation

You may record in either wide-screen or normal mode. If you record in wide-screen mode, the video will appear compressed when played back on a normal TV. For full details refer to the "Using the wide mode" section of the manual on page 32 of the manual.

Hello
Most of the telivision transmissions are comes at an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide aspect ratio is 16:9. If you try to see a picture with aspect ratio 4:3 to wide 16:9, it will look like stretched. it is not the fault of the tv. Most DVD recording have the aspect ratio of 16:9 [Wide]. This aspect ratio will be displayed correctly when your tv is also set to wide mode. If you select normal mode at this condition, the picture will be displayed elongated. Ok Your Tv has no probelm.

1) Power your wide-screen TV on and turn to a channel that is displayed with bars on the side. You need to leave this channel on to ensure you have properly adjusted your wide-screen TV.

2) Find in your TVs settings where you can "stretch" the picture. Refer to your wide-screen TVs owner's manual for specific instructions. Some TVs may not refer to this adjustment as "stretch." You will be able to find all the information your looking for in the owners manual.

3) Adjust settings back to normal if you want to watch a program shown in 16:9 format. Keeping the screen "stretched" will cause programs shown in 16:9 format appear zoomed in, making the picture look really different.

Keep us posted.

the original image size was probably recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio...meaning your widescreen is a 16:9 ratio size screen and is stretching it outwards to fill the whole screen. If you want the image to look normal.. ie. not short and fat people.... you need to change the picture size in the settings from widescreen 16:9 to normal 4:3 tv in the settings menu most likely...Also most remotes will/should have a button for that.
