Beginners • Re: Pi 5 - display too large on flatscreen TV

Presumably over scan is on at the moment.
Info on how to change the setting:

Hopefully that's current enough.

Looked at these instructions for disabling overscan - the raspberry pi 5 running raspbian version 12 bookworm - doesn't show any way to select overscan setting

I see someone else is having same problem with Rpi 5 and bookworm OS displaying correctly on TV screen
viewtopic.php?t=361382

it's your AV receiver most likely! Connect the Pi to the TV directly and report back on the results.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I connected the Rpi hdmi output directly to the TV hdmi input, bypassing the Onkyo AVR receiver -> result was "no change" - the display is the same. SO this rules out the AVR receiver as being the problem.

I think I'lll just have to wait for the OS developers to fix the overscan setting problem in version 12 bookworm.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions !
