Portable flow does not fill the TV screen.

When I connect my laptop Lenovo to my Sansung HDTV with a HDMI cable to watch football, image does not fill the full screen. ANC, someone tell me how to solve this - in terms laymans!

Hi Stevie H,

This would happen if the screen resolution is not set correctly on the computer.

I suggest that you set the resolution of the screen on the computer and check if it helps.

(a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

(b) pursuant to the resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click apply.

  • DV5Z w/HDMI does not fill the entire screen

    I have a DV5Z with installed Blu - ray player. When I connect the Dv5z for my Panasonice 42 in plasma 720 p with the HDMI cable, the entire screen is not used in full picture format. There is a border of 1 inch around top, bottom, left and right.  My DV5Z has ATI HD 3200 graphics card and I do not understand where I need to adjust it so that it works ok. I already had a Dv5T with Intel 4500 and it worked fine, (in fact he filled a little too much about "1/4 of the image has been off the screen) but not the DV5z and I don't want to watch some blu ray movies with 1inch border around the screen. Where are the settings for me to adjust so that I can watch movies under the eyes?

    I adjusted the display settings, and it did not work. What could be the problem I need to adjust?

    I also adjusted the aspect of the TV and H-fill is not anywhere close and zoom isn't closed and 4; 3, that's not what I want to use.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Try using the ATI Catalyst software.  You should see an option for HDTV in the list on the left in the Advanced view.  It has a few decent explanations on how to use it to configure your TV.  I do not have my dv5z before me right now so I can't be more specific.  If you need more details, let me know, I got exactly the same problem and got it working.

  • Dose of picture does not fill the whole computer screen

    I tried to solve this problem for a while now. I have a Windows Vista and everything I seem to display on the monitor, does not fill the entire screen more. There are these twoblack bars going down on each side, vertically. The entire vacancies, computer screen usage now all appears right in theMiddle of the screen, between the bars. Y at - it a program that I need to go in? Or certain keys do I press on? It's really annoying. That's the best I can describe this problem, see how I searched help and nothing seems to describe what I'm trying to hard. Please help me.

    Sincerely, Brittany

    Otherwise, press the keys in the stretch and adjust screen monitor.
  • Games running in lower resolution on the desktop resolution does not fill the screen

    I have a laptop HP ENVY 17 TS with NVIDIA GT 740 M and Intel 4600HD graphics drivers and running Windows 7. Whenever I want to change the resolution in games at a lower resolution on the desktop resolution, the game shrinks to its view, leaving the couple of inches black bars on the edges. For example, if my the desktop resolution is 1920 x 1080 and I want to start a game in 1600 x 900, the game does not fill the screen, instead, it leaves an amount of empty space on the edges of the screen.

    In order to solve this problem, I tried the following steps:

    I first tried to locate the view tab in the NVIDIA Control Panel in order to define the scale/stretch in "Full screen", but my version of NVIDIA CP isn't the view tab (my NVIDIA drivers are the latest version).

    Then I discovered that I should do this in the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. My Intel HD Graphics CP has an option named "Calibration" under display > display settings and it doesn't show the option to retain display scaling that is checked by default and does not change. Also, after searching the Internet I saw that some people suggested entering the 'advanced settings' and try to make changes. When I try to enter advanced settings, under view, it says 'this screen does not support advanced settings'.

    After trying without success, I tried the update driver Intel via their website, hoping that it can fix the problem. I ran the small Intel application on their Web site that identifies my chipset and offers me the latest driver for this chipset. Web site told me that the driver is installed on my computer is 10.18.10.3304, and there is an update for what is 15.33.18.64.3496 (or 10.18.10.3496). So I downloaded the file, but when I tried to run, it gave me this error message: "the drivre being installed is not validated for this computer. You can get the correct driver from the manufacturer of the computer. Setup will now exit. "that makes no sense.

    After trying the above steps, I'm not able to solve the problem, and I need help from someone who really knows how to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Solution (I hope)

    1. choose the properties of the graphic (logo Intel) option when you right click on the desktop

    2. go in view

    3. go through the resolutions on the 'Resolution' and change to this resolution (do not click Apply)

    4. for everyone to go to 'Scaling' at the bottom of the screen and change it to scale full screen (do not click Apply)

    5. Repeat until you get back to the higher resolution (that won't let you change the scale).

    6. quickly choose a few resolutions from the drop-down menu to make sure that they have changed their scale.

  • Firefox does not fill the screen

    Hello

    Yesterday I had Firefox and explore (ugh!) browsers open at the same time, as I just changed my site on Yahoo Small Business Solutions and Firefox would not save the changes (as a result, the opening of Explorer.) After I finished with the Web site changes, I noticed that there are some changes on my page of Firefox. It does not fit my screen by about 1/4 "on the sides and bottom, and the top is not complete as if it was - the office's bleeding through in empty space up there. Help, please! Thanks, Qz

    Open Firefox-> click the maximize button to fill the screen completely-> close Firefox

    • Restart Firefox
    • Now, the window should open maximized

  • Program BACK in Guest XP on Windows 7 does not fill the screen

    Hello world

    I have a quite unique due to many circumstances situation and several months of research to get to a decent workaround.

    I have a tool written in Basic for MS-DOS. I need to use this tool and the interface with the files created in Windows 7. VMWare Player with no very good support for sharing files between DOS with Windows 7 clients, I have opted for a guest of Windows XP on my computer Windows 7 host and who go through the program. In this way, I can share files between XP and 7 and run the program correctly in the XP VM. Note that this program doesn't work at all on Windows 7 due to some problems graphics driver, hence the need for such a solution.

    When I run the XP VM, it is able to match the resolution as expected. However, when I open the program BACK, he is not full screen as it does on a native XP machine or even a VM XP in VMWare Fusion on a Mac. Is there a way to force it to fill the screen? The graphics full screen are vital for visibility - I can barely see anything on the screen of dinky little 640 x 480 without blowing up to its maximum potential.

    I tried several other options, including a Windows VM (I'm under Windows 7 Enterprise) and DOSBOX. Windows VM has the same problem resolution in addition to requiring the integration of features enabled to share files and requiring the same integration disabled features in order to run the program and the DOSBOX not full screen but the performance is much too slow to be practical (it is similar to take 2 minutes to scroll through a web page that is several pages a notch long) even at maximum settings.

    Please no suggestions ' do you have the printer "-I am part of a team of average size on how it works and it's pretty much the last roadblock after several months of work. We probably tried everything which is immediately obvious, including the recompilation of the source code for the program BACK (that we had to do anyway to remove a lock imposed by a society that no longer exists).

    The closest that I have is to reduce the resolution of the host Windows 7 in 800 x 600, which makes the VM a bit larger but still not quite full screen. I try to activate the VGA 640 x 480 mode, I guess? Even in this case, however, the need for constantly changing screen resolutions makes this solution less than ideal.

    Thank you for all the suggestions/help.

    Do I understand correctly:

    -It is an application with a fixed resolution of 640 x 480 fullscreen

    -You want that he developed the scale to fit to your screen

    As far as I KNOW, VMware Player is not just what to do.

    There is a tutorial in the section documents for a workaround (using the changer display to automatically change the resolution of the host).

  • Why some pages on mobile phone does not fill the screen?

    I just created a desk and a telephone mobile version of a Web site for my wife - http://sandravollmer.com . The desktop version works fine except that sometimes, the home page is not rendered correctly (and look great) even if the other pages that are well appear.

    My main problem is with the mobile phone version which has two pages that do not display when you go home. You can double-click and they will fill the screen but otherwise they fill about half to two-thirds of the screen. These pages are pages of opportunity and the video evidence.

    I am not entirely new to Muse that I created my site with it after it first came out, but I'm no Designer Web site in no way am baffled by this question. I tried to change several things on the relevant pages and even on the master page, but nothing seems to work.

    A cure or your suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated!

    David Vollmer

    I'll answer my own question because after doing a "select all", I discovered that there is something on each of the pages that I didn't and forced as a result page is smaller. After removing the offending element on each page, everything seems normal and large.

  • Firefox loads, icon on the bar of tasks but when you click the slide of graphics off to the right, but does not fill the screen & when you right-click again, falls back into the icon

    Firefox, Thunderbird and Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I left the game & click on icon to return to Firefox full screen, I could see the flash of the image to the right of my screen and disappear. When I clicked on the icon in the taskbar, the reverse happened - the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse over the icon, the open screens appear with the red X to close, but the same thing happens when I click on this box. Two other programs that have been opened, while the game was active work correctly, only Firefox has been affected. I can't open the program to access one of the menu items that I can't get the image of the screen on the monitor. I did uninstall and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy, I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run. I did chose to save my settings, so if something has changed here so maybe that's the problem.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.
