Pi v5 Display does not fit 70" LCD

rasp_renegade

Hi All. I just got the v5 with 16GB, Pretty stoked!

Connected to HDMI 70" LCD and the screen is slightly cutoff left, right, top, and bottom.

I configured boot/firmware/config.txt to no avail.

The entry for "disable_overscan=1" already existed, so i commented it out.
I added these but nothing changed
overscan_left=-20
overscan_right=-20
overscan_top=-20
overscan_bottom=-20

Pi Model= 5
Power supply=none
RetroPie=4.8.9 (installed manually 64bit from the native Imager)

@rasp_renegade Set your TV into Game Mode or into 'Just Scan'

With the new RaspiOS (well Bullseye or later), any hdmi_ or overscan options in config.txt are ignored and have no effect.
First you should try what @Thorr69 recommended and use the TV settings to eliminate any post-processing done by the TV itself.
If that has no positive effect, you can try adding the margin_xyz parameters at the end of /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt as described here.

video=HDMI-A-1:margin_left=50,margin_right=50,margin_top=30,margin_bottom=30

NB: the cmdline.txt is just one large line, make sure you add the video parameter at the end of the line and you don't insert any newlines. If your TV is connected to the 2nd HDMI port, replace HDMI-A-1 with HDMI-A-2.

@mitu and @Thorr69

I found the TV setting. Thank you very much its perfect. Will also test out the cmdline.txt method since that setting was not easy to find on the TV!!
