another question... regarding TV's as MM monitors.

@justjim1220

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?

[justjim1220]

@mykle1
yep

[justjim1220]

@mykle1
I will take a couple pics…

@justjim1220

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

@justjim1220

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

@mykle1 on one of my tvs this is called overscan in the tv display settings

[Mykle1]

@sdetweil

Ahhh, ok, I did not know this, never having used a tv with MM. Thanks for the info

[justjim1220]

@mykle1

yeah, I don’t have any negative margins set

[Mykle1]

@justjim1220

Ok, was just touching upon things to try to help

[justjim1220]

@sdetweil
I don’t see any overscan in my settings…

[justjim1220]

@mykle1

Yeah, I understand.
Just giving feedback is all! :winking_face:

[justjim1220]

@mykle1

Believe me, I looked to make sure!

[Mykle1]

@justjim1220

Just out of curiosity, what does you css body look like?

[sdetweil]

my roku tv has zoom, stretch, normal, auto for picture in glass… I use auto or normal…

[justjim1220]

@mykle1

body {
	margin: 20px;
	position: absolute;
	height: calc(100% - 40px);
	width: calc(100% - 40px);
	background: #000;
	color: #aaa;
	font-family: Englebert;
	font-weight: 400;
	font-size: 2em;
	line-height: 1.5em;
	-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

[sdetweil]

for testing, use one of the fullscreen styles… gets rid of the border etc…

[justjim1220]

@sdetweil

I will in a little bit
Grandkids just showed up and want me to get out of my shop and see them for a few minutes!
I also need to replace the batteries in my TV remote. They just got dead!

I’ll be back in a little bit.

Thanks everyone!

[justjim1220]

ok, the solution is in the custom css
the issue is the TV screen is a wide-screen
I just didn’t play around with it enough to see any differences
everything on screen now. removed the border, increased the border size.

Well, I’ll be . . .

@mykle1 :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

yeah, realized the main issue was trying to get it to have a border and it just wouldn’t work with the wide screen monitor of the TV.
