Apple TV HD Overscan

I recently bought a Gen 4 Apple TV (my first Apple TV purchase) and I seem to have a problem with the overscan. display resolutions 720 p and 1080 p with overscan, but none of the other resolutions seem to have this problem and show all just fine with any of the cut edges. I have an Insignia which is a few years old TV. It works very well but the overscan option is on, but I can't change it because it is grayed out in the menu. This isn't a problem with any other resolution, so I don't think it's a problem with my tv, but a problem with Apple TV. Does anyone else have this problem or did someone knows a solution?

  • Apple TV Overscan/Underscan control

    Hello

    I have a Dynex DX-LCD42HD-09 2009 TV which is known for not having all the video modes, using an HDMI input to adjust to overscan... On this page, users discuss the same problem, only with different video sources, not Apple TV:

    p-lcd-look a - area.html #post16570861 http://www.avsforum.com/Forum/166-LCD-flat-panel-displays/1148222-question-Dynex-1080

    Here's the thing with this TV...

    The TV has 4 video modes: Normal/wide/Zoom/cinema. None of them does correct the overscan.

    TV has a way of 'video art' which has an option for overscan, but is available only when using VGA as input, with a signal as well as the definition does not have HDMI inputs.

    Sony Playstation 4, for example, offers a framework of limits systemic screen custom, which completely solves the problem with overscan!-except that it's not - its use is based on the software, and ridiculously, many Sony software (for example, the web browser built-in) is not honoring the limit - the system-wide setting. Similarly, many of the 3rd games of Group (for example, at the time of writing these Overwatch), do honor not the limit of the system screen setting, so that the edges are cut off.

    However, sources video like the Nintendo Wii, you have a set underscan across the system that is used in the world on the system. This ensures a video output perfect on my screen and I see what the device is out of my screen.

    This brings me to Apple TV. I was hoping that the Apple TV, all Mac, would offer an adjustable under / overscan option to scale the video output on my TV. However, the only option seems to be when you use AirPlay... and even then, during video playback in full screen via AirPlay, it overscans beyond TV.

    Apple TV an video output option requires scalable, just like the Mac has. I'm not whole screen using my TV, and it's Aussie a nuisance to use because of this.

    Are there patches there?

    Example of overscan on drive AG:

    Another example on the video Calibration page, even if the 'minimum' limit is... things are always cut off.

    When you use AirPlay Mirroring, there is no screen cut off due to the 'Underscan AirPlay' option set to 'ON'... why this cannot be global?

    Apple TV sends the appropriate video signal. It seems to me, there up to the TV set to display it correctly.

  • Apple tv overscan number 4th gen

    I can't configure my TV to be full screen with this 4th gen Apple TV. Very disappointed. My 3rd generation works fine, full-screen on my Sharp Aquos 1080pHD.

    My TV has no overscan or PC or setting to change the field of view.

    Is that going to be fixed in updates? Why I can't change the size of the screen with the apple tv? It is a joke that the 3rd generation has worked and now virtually part of my movies/TV shows is cut off due to overscan the apple tv is the creation...?

    Apple, please help, please give me some advice! You want to use this impressive technology in HD, with my HD TV! 1056 x 650, set HDMI to RGB no low... Only way to display the image full screen and everything will seem grainy and as I look at on a tube TV?

  • Sierra + apple tv

    Hi all

    I've just updated to Sierra, and I can't use the airplay feature. Icon is still in place, I tried to mirror the screen and the Office expanded. iMac connects to Apple Tv, the icon turns blue, but nothing appears on television. It works perfectly with my iPhone. So, my guess is that Sierra is at fault.

    Already rebooted device and everything is up-to-date.

  • Apple 4th TV showing a larger image that will not fit my TV.

    It seems like I'm losing part of the image produced by the ATV. When I go into the settings, I don't see the maximum area showed on the screen. Apple suggests that I have to do the configuration on my TV, but my TV is an old LG TV, model 47LY3RF and has the option of 16:9, 4:3, zoom 1/2, option 1:1 is not accessible. It is not possible too change the size of the screen on this subject.
    I already tried without success to other options of resolution on the ATV.
    Does anyone have an idea how to fix?
    Thank you!

    This is due to "Overscan". Unless your TV has an option to change the zoom, you're out of luck.

    I'm in the same boat and think that Apple could fix this with a parameter of Apple TV. I have a zoom setting with my old LG TV but it only zooms to 100% no less.

    If you have any suggestions that you think might improve Apple TV you can send your feedback here at Apple

    To be quite honest, arguably isn't really matter of Apple. There are safety standard for video production areas, if the developers of applications actually apply these standards you will probably notice even the overscan at all.

  • Cannot disconnect from the Apple TV

    Greetings.

    MBP end 2013. El Capitan

    ATV2

    I can connect to my Apple TV very well (mirror or just connected). But once logged in, there is nothing more I can do on my computer. Including disconnect them. The screen clears all the windows and menus, and shows that my background image. The cursor and when I move a mouse or magic cushion. Touching the edges with the visible cursor (when he decided to become) won't show all the menus, so I see no way to disconnect, or by choosing to play something else through the ATV.

    My only way out is to power off the MBP and start again. A very little bit inelegant.

    My iPhone 6 works as it should with this ATV. Y at - it a setting I am missing on my MBP?

    Looks like your display's actind as a second displays the extended desktop.  In this case, one of the two (macbook or ATV) must display a menu.

    Do you see the menu on the screen?

    The other possibility may be some issue with the TV overscan.

  • I changed my Apple ID to my new married name, but somewhere it is still hanging on to my old details

    After getting married, I updated my Apple ID with my new name and e-mail address.  This well it worked and I can access iTunes etc but my iCloud storage is almost full and I tried to connect to improve it but it still shows my old email address and name.  I can't connect to it knowing that I replaced all the details so the old account doesn't really exist, but it will not display my new address.  I went in my Apple ID to see where he was always picking up the old name/e-mail since but there just my new details (as it should) and I don't see where it's always the old details.  How to forget my old data.  I have almost no storage iCloud and have no way to resolve this issue now.

  • Apple Watch activity is not in the cloud?

    So, I've been using a Apple Watch for a while and my number one problem is that 'Activity', I put together for the last year is not sync with the iCloud, so when I upgraded my iPhone 6 to iOS10 all my activity watch is gone. I tested this point last week and it seems that "Activity" app does not synchronize your data in the cloud, so if you lose your phone or your watch you will have to start all over again and latest data are lost. This seems to be a huge concern when I spend all this time my overall follow-up and progress. Everyone see what happens if you put to level or restart/reset your watch or your phone?

    Hello

    Health and historical activity data is stored on your iPhone. It is not recorded separately in iCloud.

    To guard against data loss, be sure to make regular backups of your iPhone.

    If the backup via iTunes, make sure to select the option to encrypt iPhone backup (unencrypted backup excludes the sensitive data, including health and activity). iCloud backups are encrypted as standard.

  • Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller

    Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.

    First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.

    Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.

    Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Calendar Apple App Bug frozen works only with iOS 10 update grrr

    Since I updated to iOS 10 (more more later than 10.2, etc.), everything was not too bad except THE APPLE CALENDAR app, its deiving me crazy when I click on the app it's like it freezes and past shift x 50 mode still something to do with the calendar app will cause either a frozen or a black screen or white and then crashed ack to main menu. Sometimes it will allow me to create but will be trolling with typing and finally crashed or not even save it... Please HELP I am sure what else to do, I tried to download google calendar and which seemed to have something of bug he loves too then something happens. And I tried to delete it and download it again, / force delivery, nothing has changed

    Hi there calsparks!

    Thank you for bringing your question on the calendar of freezing and trolling since the update to iOS 10 on your iPhone for Apple Support communities.  I rely on the calendar to keep my life organized, so I'm happy to help you resolve this issue today.

    Looks like you did a few good troubleshooting by force to leave the app, force to restart the iPhone and deleting and reinstalling the application calendar.  At this stage my next recommendation would be to backup your iPhone, then erase and restore your iPhone as a new device, then test calendar to see if it behaves correctly, and then restore your backup.

  • 7 leather Apple iPhone case

    Just got the black leather for my iPhone case Black 7.  The finish on the leather is slippery in my hand, will be leather percent and easier to hold after a period of use?

    Hmm, probably not.  You can consider a case for Apple.  They resemble leather cases, but they are more sticky and have a more sticky feeling.  Good luck.

  • Why Apple have downgraded app music in iOS10?

    I have never written a comment or opened a discussion here but I felt compelled after the last updated iOS10...

    I do not understand why Apple have passed their music app when they are competing with major players such as Spotify etc.

    As a music lover, I can create now is no longer lists Genius playlist with the music I record on my iPhone and it doesn't I have songs with stars rate - there is just a useless 'like' and the button "hate" frustrates me a lot. We used to be able to delete a certain song in a playlist as well, now, you can only delete the song completely from your library. UH no, stupid option! The music app has just become more simplified and boring application to use, ever. I was considering the permutation of Spotify for Apple music but there is no way so I do now.

    Nobody knows how to get the message to Apple so that they sit and recognize that they made a huge mistake and start on a new update iOS10 to bring these great features, now disappeared?

    I would like to hear from anyone who feels even though I know I'm not the only one there!

    Yes, where EXACTLY E-X-A-C-T-L-Y is this dislike on the app button? I have iPad 3, do not find the option in the latest version for iPad 3 (not 10). ??? Very frustrating!
