    Nor do I know about overscan. However, you can try something like this in your custom.css file. This gives me a mere 5 pixel border. You can adjust accordingly for your purposes.

     body {
     	margin: 5px;
    	height: calc(100% - 10px);
    	width: calc(100% - 10px);
     }

      why set to 1100?
      Guess it’s a FullHD screen and should set to 1280. Otherwise it’s for sure not sharp or blurry because the aspect ratio is not correct.
      I would give it a try and then set the overscan, if needed, correctly.

        @barnosch I was trying to stretch the screen but relised that wasn’t right way to do it… my resolution size is now set to width 1280 x height 1920… the bottom and top are perfect with no black bars but left and right Just won’t seem to change no matter what I change my overscan to? It says negative numbers if there is too much border but doesn’t seem to work…

        Thanks

          @jakuk Just to be sure, what’s the resolution of your monitor? Some monitors are 16:9 and some are 16:10. Be sure to set your Pi’s resolution to the native resolution of your monitor. My recommendation is to let the Raspbian OS take care of the overall resolution and use the mirror configuration to handle borders.

            @bhepler hi yes my monitor is 1920 x 1080 but other way around to let it be portrait, it’s also 16:9 aspect radio. It’s just strange as the top and bottom are fine, it’s just left and right I’ve about about an inch black border on each side.

              @bhepler so if I wanted to change the borders in magic mirror it’s self I use the custom.css file. Could you give me an example of making the clock in the top left to be closer to the edge of the screen?
              Thank you for your help…
