      @JonoGee said in At my Wits end! Overscan/Underscan. Nothing changes:

      I am not sure where i should be putting…

      They are not config entries.
      Just execute those commands from the command-line.

      The config file entries in your first post, are they yours or just an example ?

      Let’s start with the tvservice commands.
      Please post the output, then we take it from there.

      $ tvservice -m CEA
      $ tvservice -m DMT
      $ tvservice -s
      

      Not an expert on the topic, but who knows we straighten this out together :-)

        Sometimes you can fix/set overscan in the menu of the monitor, may be this helps?

              Did you ever touch the /boot/config.txtfile ?
              Or only did the config using $ sudo raspi-config or via the GUI ?
              It can be you selected Overscan there.

              Can you also show the output of this command ?

              $ cat /boot/config.txt | grep -v '^#' | egrep 'overscan|framebuffer|hdmi|dtoverlay'
