The converted picture is to large for the TV screen. Why and are there any solutions?

First confirm that you do not have a VGA connection for a PC in the back of your TV. Many PC's connect directly into the TV's with VGA connection provided. If only HDMI then a converter can be a reliable alternative.

A VGA to HDMI converter may be a better solution. This particular device identified in the link has the power from the USB of the laptop to operate, the sound from the audio out of the laptop, and assuming you have a VGA out for a monitor the connection to the converter will give you choice of resolution.

There are many different units available and the one in the ink is just an example.
Hope this helps?


Syba Portable VGA to HDMI Converter with Audio Support

Your new TV is digital. Your VCR is for the obsolete analog NTSC broadcast standard. The two devices are totally incompatible. There are converter boxes available. The quality of the playback will be very poor compared to the picture you now see on your high definition digital TV. The NTSC picture is made up of 525 lines. The best home VCR reduced the resolution to about 350 lines. Your new TV is very high resolution by comparison with a much larger screen in all likelihood. The large screen will exaggerate the poor quality. The process of sending the signal through a converter box will reduce the resolution even more, although digital enhancement with a computer or a dedicated device can marginally improve the results. In the end, you will probably be very unhappy with the resulting picture. If you have video tapes you need to convert them to a digital format using DVD or BlueRay disks, for example. Once converted, you will need a a BlueRay or DVD player for playback to your TV. There are devices for making the conversion or you can send you tapes to a company that will covert the tapes for you. If you do a google search, for video to DVD conversion services, there are many choices. I would suggest that you just have your tapes converted to archival quality DVDs. The sooner you do it, the better because tape degrades in a relatively short time. The tape has a sync track along one edge and as the tape stretches (they always do) by just sitting on the shelf or being played, the player will no longer be able to play the tape and your memories will be lost forever.

Look for "Size" on remote, or go into menu under "picture", adjust size there.

Unfortunately there's no solution other than buying a new TV. Theoretically the panel could be replaced but you can't find that part easily, if at all. I'm sorry for your loss, but you should be extra careful with large screen TVs.

Are there more than one vga plugs? If so switch them up and or change on your input selection til it's a clear picture.

My Sanyo CP29YS2B - all of a sudden picture has changed - it now looks like it is in a zoom mode - large parts of the eterior of pictures and menu settings do not appear on screen. Using menu does not offer any solutions

because the image is magnifed so much on large screens, standard definition video may look blocky or jaggy ... an "up converting" DVD player calculates and fills in the needed information and makes a far smoother result .. standard resolution was never intended for large screens but "up converting" does a nice job of fixing that ..

the tv had intermittant solder connections already but h\they appeared when the tv was moved to hook up the digi-box. The solution could be as simple as resoldering the power convergence amps.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Please check your cable box settings first. Sometimes the remotes have a picture size button on them, and the in-laws could have pressed that by accident. Check the TV settings, press Menu Button & then go to WINDOW/IMAGE SIZE. Now select normal size.

Also check the settings of the converter box (if you are using it). The boxes also have a peculiar problem: Unless users manually change settings from show to show, the picture from many stations either won’t fill the screen, or it will be so big that part of the picture is cut off by the edges of the screen. The solution is to press the “zoom” button on the remote that comes with the converter box. That will expand the picture so it fills the screen. If still the issue persists, then you’ll need to go to the service menu. To go to the service menu please start with the TV off and press mute > 1 > 8 > 2 > power the remote on. Now the TV will come on with the menu displayed and from there you can change the settings as required.


Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks
