      Offical psu
      Offical hdmi
      Samsung 4k TV
      Offical retropie image
      Using
      hdmi_group=1
      hdmi_mode=16

      Checked with TV service and all points towards 1080p
      Boxart all set to same resolution pixels width and height.

      But for some unknown reason some box art displays stretched usually only 1 cover from a games system menu when all the rest are fine. If I deleted the cover and add another one for e. g.
      A copy of one which displays correctly it still does it too that image stretching it.
      And doesn't matter which theme I use even default carbon.

      It's the only issue I have other than that it's great.
      If anybody has any suggestions to help. I can upload anything I have. Thanks
      Sim

        Check your config.txt and see if you have overscan_scale=1 set.

            My point is that you should try with

            overscan_scale=1
            

            and don't disable this option.

              @mitu thats how I had it previously.

              It must be something else.

              But not a big deal everything still works.
              Great system retropie.
              Thanks Sim
