Picture too large for screen size

When viewing the picture on the screen, the majority of the top portion is outside of the viewing range. Is there a way that I can adjust and/or reduce the size of the picture so that the entire picture can be viewed on the screen?

Flat Screen Insignia TV picture too big? How to adjust picture size?

When the picture is too large there are three possible solutions at least.

Starting with the simplest two: There are buttons on the remote controls (cable/satellite and television) that control the picture size. On the cable remote it is usually on the bottom, and it says hd zoom. Press it and it will size the picture down for you. On the television or satellite remote it might say view mode, picture mode, format or aspect.

Now, the more difficult solution if the above doesn't work: The settings might not be right in the cable box/set top box. If the television is a 720p television, make sure the cable box/set top box is set for 720p and not 1080i even though they're the same (yes, yes I know). Also make sure you are not connecting a cable/set top box to the coaxial rf input when you have the capability to connect to a component or hdmi cable. I hope this helps.

Have a new acer 23inch monitor. using computer with windows xp with pentium 4 processor. pictures downloaded from my camera are too wide. tuned my resolution on desk top as high as possibe .helped but not...

The trouble isn't because of resolution. It's because whichever picture viewer you're using is trying to show the picture at a size that's too large to fit. You need to tell the program to fit the image to the view window, and then you'll see the whole thing.

I will admit up front that I don't use the built-in Windows picture viewer, so if that's what you're using I can't tell you what to do. I use a free program called IrfanView which offers a lot more capability. It even allows a thumbnail view of whole folders so you can pick an image to see at full size or fitted to the window, and nice range of editing functions as well. And I'm repeating myself, but it's also 100% free.

Why did my picture become big so I can not see the sideline information

Press the RATIO button repeatedly to select the desired picture format. You can also adjust Aspect Ratio in the OPTION menu.
  1. Set By Program. Selects the proper picture proportion to match the source’s image. (4:3 → 4:3, 16:9 → 16:9)
  2. 4:3. Choose 4:3 when you want to view a picture with an original 4:3 aspect ratio, with gray bars appearing at both the left and right sides.
  3. 16:9. Choose 16:9 when you want to adjust the picture horizontally, in a linear proportion to fill the entire screen.
  4. Horizon. Choose Horizon when you want to adjust the picture in a non-linear proportion, that is, more enlarged at both sides, to create a panorama view.
  5. Zoom 1. Choose Zoom 1 when you want to view the picture without any alteration. However, the top and bottom portions of the picture will be cropped.
  6. Zoom 2. Choose Zoom 2 when you want the picture to be altered, both horizontally extended and vertically cropped. The picture taking a halfway trade off between alteration and screen coverage.
  7. Cinema Zoom. Choose Cinema Zoom when you want to enlarge the picture in correct proportion. Note: When enlarging or reducing the picture, the image may become distorted. You can adjust the enlarge proportion of Cinema Zoom using D / E button. The adjustment range is 1~16.

Picture Size problem with Samsung Flat panel LN-T3253H

You should contact Samsung service to know if the internal setup for the picture sizing was not adjusted properly at the factory.

Take care that some of these sets have a user zoom mode. Maybe it is in the zoom mode. Check in your instruction manual before calling for service support.
