    You’re not talking about the body margins, are you?

      Well, I did play with them a bit, but didn’t really get anywhere
      using custom.css, of course!

        I’m not understanding what you mean by “the TV cuts off the MM display around all 4 edges”. The MM display is outside the edges of the monitor?

              It sounds like a “zoom in” is being deployed. Try this while MM is running:

              Zoom Out = Control and - (That’s a dash/minus sign)

              Default Display Size = Control and 0 (That’s a zero)

              This should survive restart and reboot.

              EDIT

              Just thought of something else. If you played with margins in css already, you may not have cleared those changes. Negative margins would do the same thing

                Never mind about the zoom in and out. I just tested both. They both stay within the margins of the display so investigate the css further
