I know this was answered (may have been an LCD) recently, but I can't remember and have never gotten the CP search to do anything.
So I signed up to Netflix last week along with a VPN and Thursday or Friday night got in to using it. The kids are off and running on the iPad with the App and I had the old laptop with HDMI running Netflix through Firefox on the TV. The TV is showing up as SAMSUNG running 1920 x 1080 and Firefox was only slightly bigger than the visible portion of the TV. This made little to no difference especially when running at Full Screen.
Yesterday the Mother In-Law discovered her DVR was not recording her TV shows. The laptop and Netflix was blamed, so I disconneted the laptop HDMI and it's recording. No idea why this is, just that the HDMI 1 and 2 ports on the TV seem to share something. But that's not my question.
The boy in his infinite wisdom unplugged the Raspberry Pi on HDMI 4 and then the running laptop from HDMI 2 and plugged it in to HDMI 4. Now Firefox is huge (I know it's the scaling of the screen) and when expanded I can't see the Address Bar and quite a bit below.
So what do I have to do to Windows 7 to get the Samsung Plasma TV to not only run at 1920 x 1080 but to fit to visible.

Disable overscan on the TV (for the selected input):
There is no unique naming for the menu setting on the TV. It may be "Size", "Aspect Ratio", "Screen [xxx]", "Format".
Once you found the setting menu, change the option which again may have various names like "Just Scan", "Fit", "Full".
If the picture is not OK now you must also adjust underscan/overscan on your laptop. This is usually done with the control center software provided by the video card manufacturer.

ATI?
I had to Google the date of acquisition by AMD: 2006.
I don't think Michael is using such an old laptop

I read it, thanks OG
...but I wouldn't have come up with the explanation...
...so it should be you tomorrow, not me...

And without the word, I was nowhere near - I was looking at "form", and "mate": getting nothing useful until I saw your answer and then it was obvious!

Ok, my pleasure setting it tomorrow then.
I owe you an explanation if there's any time you have the answer but no explanation
...unfortunately I think this is never going to happen...
