          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

                                    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!

                                      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.

                                          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.
