Overscan Problem

General Help
1

Hey! I need some help.
I have an overscan problem on my TV, and I can't fix it:
What I've tried:

  • Television Settings, I have none related to Geometry;
  • xrandr: neither transform nor underscan work, since I have an Intel igpu.

@Aravisian sorry for disturbing, but maybe you know this.

I wonder if this solved Linux Mint Forum thread that describes a very similar issue to the one you describe may help solve yours:

Overscan problems are usually solved with a setting in the menu of the tv.
I use an old Samsung tv and it has an overscan setting under "display mode".

None of this posts solve my issue. But xrandr with the transform option moves my screen down a little bit. How can I customize the transform values?

my television doesn't have any of that on HDMI. It has on vga, but I don't have a vga port on my pc, or a hdmi-to-vga video adapter.
If you tell me it'll surely work, I'll buy one of those.

Please see this response by Roblm:

Try this command: xrandr --output HDMI-0 --transform 1.04,0,-34,0,1.07,-21,0,0,1

You will need to fine tune the 1.04 and 1.07 values by adding or subtracting .01 >at a time.

For example: xrandr --output HDMI-0 --transform 1.05,0,-34,0,1.07,-21,0,0,1

Here's a tip in case you're not aware of it, while using the Terminal. Press the UP >Arrow key to bring up previously typed and executed commands, so you won't need >to retype them. Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to move the cursor to the >character that needs to be changed.

Sorry for being so brief, I am heading out the door to an appointment.
