Hi Folks I have played around with this for hours on end. I have the Raspi up and running and have got MagicMirror installed. But for the love of money I can’t get the screen to stop overflowing past the edge of the monitor. The image I can see if too big for the screen i am using. In Raspi Configuration I have tried Underscan both Enabled and Disabled. In the config file i have tried allsorts of combinations of the following code… disable_overscan=1 overscan_left=39 overscan_right=39 overscan_top=25 overscan_bottom=23 framebuffer_width=1920 framebuffer_height=1080 hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=16 Whether disabled or not, positive or negative values nothing makes any difference the the results I get. Its like a setting somewhere is overriding any of these settings. Can someone please take pity of a guy whose gonna rip his hair out anytime soon. Best Regards

is this the pi desktop that is too big, or the MagicMirror UI ?

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'
```
