Can i cut another screen to fit my tv? - Toshiba 50H82 50" Rear Projection Television

The screen on the TV being cut off is coming from something that is called overscaning While with most TV's it will automatically fit the input image to your TV"S screen in some TV'sit might cut off a little part of the screen. The solution to fix overscaning on TV'S will be different on each TV.

A lot depends on what the TV station cuts off also.
If they are transmitting a 5 X 4 picture, your TV will try an reproduce it giving cut off edges or top and bottom. It won,t fit properly.
Hope that helps to explain it.

Our prolem is no matter how we adjust the screen when ever there message at the bottom of the screen this don't show up or is cut off. I get upset when I pay the amount for this 42" Plasma TV and watching the news there extra messages across the bottom of the screen espically when school closing due to weather. I've try to figure out using the instruction booklet with no results. Any ideas where the screen to where extra messages in lower screen can be seen to be read?

This is most likely a setting on your TV, like stretch, or fit, or possibly on your cable box, or dish receiver. look at your dish or cable box settings and turn off any screen adjustments. Example under wide screen setting is strech , zoom, letterbox (choose letterbox).
The TV has these settings as well.

Can't be fixed has to be replaced. Check your local tv repairman & see if he has some spare screens. Can be cut to fit

Unfortunately, this is an internal adjustment that can not be done by you without voiding the warranty. Call the store and request warranty service. You should not have to pay to get this resolved.

Would buying Plexiglas and cutting to fit work? no
you could buy a used one try craiglist.com

if your tv has a warranty take it back to where you you bought it.or check if your remote has the zoom feature,if it does zoom it back.or else you will have to call the repair man to program it for you.
