I have a 2001 65 inch mitshubishi tv how do i get the pic to fit the screen its to big

Assuming you have a flat screen 16x9 TV, make sure it is set to screen fit so that there is minimal overscan. The button should be called pic size or aspect ratio. Also set your laptop to the same resolution as your TV or as close as possible to a supported resolution.

Check the LVDS connection cable for loose fittings at it sockets.

Movies that are created for "Wide Screen" viewing show up in letterbox on your TV. If you go to a theatre you notice it is a big rectangle. To be able to fit all of the widescreen movie on a TV it has to make the height smaller.


Because many people want to see the "complete" Movie, the "Letterbox Format" came about. I do NOT know what the word "Letterbox" actually means, or how that term was chosen. To get the complete Rectangle into that Square, they discovered that they could shrink the entire rectangle to fit that square. Meaning, what used to take 2 inches on your screen, now may only take 1.75 inches. Now a problem arrose. When you shrink the WIDTH to fit your dinky Square of a TV, the HEIGHT also has to be shrunk along with it, or else you're stretching the image as if it was on silly-putty ("Compression"). When the image was shrunk to fit the TV Screen, they were left with a gap at the top and bottom of the screen. So they simply fill it in with "Black". I guess the only alternative was to leave it snowy.

sounds like the flyback transformer needs to be resoldered. Often it will develope cracks around its pins. The flyback is located on the Far left side when looking in the rear. Its a large transformer with the large red wire coming out of it.
