Heya, I'm currently using my old tv as a monitor and the problem is that it seems to have overscan and I can't go into the tv menu to change it. Do you know of any desktop environments that allow you to resize the window height and width? I've tried KDE with kdoctor and xrandr settings but all it did to me was changing hiw much of the desktop I was able to see without changing the resolution if that makes sense. Like The taskbar not only being cut off at the bottom half bc of Overscan but now thanks to the change in display settings as well.

So I'm in need of a desktop that has it's own feature to counteract that.

Any help appreciated, thanks

    It positioned the screen to the bottom right edge of my tv but the left and top was still cut off. I wanted to see what kind of transformations u applied and checked the xrandr wiki, and found my solution in the end:

    xrandr --output HDMI-2 --set underscan on --set "underscan vborder" 25 --set "underscan hborder" 40

    But thanks for your help anyways!
