Re: HDMI - doesnt fit the screen

What exactly is the issue:

The computer is configured to use the native resolution of the HDMI display but the display shows black bars or a distorted picture or

You have connceted a secondary display via HDMI (using 2 displays) and on one of the displays, the image is not shown in the native resolution or with black bars or distortion?

Show us

xrandr

for good measure.

Only one display.
The desktop is cut at the top, leaving 30% of tint(top).

There is black space at the bottom.

Rather than laboriously typing out a vague summary that doesn't help much, why not just copy & paste the entire output of the `xrandr` command here?

Re: HDMI - doesnt fit the screen

The resolution doesnt matter. Its more like the cable or smth places the screen slightly too much at top...

Re: HDMI - doesnt fit the screen

Will try your command later. Is there a command to simply pull the screen down some pixels?
