Title: Picture on TV is slightly off center. Any fix for this?
Post by: evitagen on July 27, 2009, 08:45:06 pm

Hey guys, have another dilemma.  I'm using a standard CRT TV in my cab but it actually has a component hook up, so that's what I'm using to my graphics card.

One problem:  the picture is slightly off center.  It is slightly to the right and cuts off the screen a little, but enough to notice.

I know with my monitor I can just adjust the screen with ease, but I'm unsure of how to do this with a TV.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need access to the service menu.
Depends on your TVs chassis / manufactor.

Well that sucks.

Is there any easy way to figure out how to access it if I find my TV information?

I have my TV's information, in case anyone knows how to help me access my service menu.

Dynex DX-R24.

Hopefully it's nothing too difficult to find or figure out.

Edit:  I even have the manual and I'm looking through it now.  Doubt it'll have any info on the service menu, however.

Nope, not in the manual.  From what I hear after some looking, Dynex crap is kind of like a Best Buy brand and the only people with service menu codes would be people at Best Buy(Geek Squad).  Anybody on these forums work there, or have in the past that could lend a hand on how to access the service menu for this model?  Thanks again guys.

i had a similar problem with mine.

I had to go into my videocards control panel and adjust it from there.

in my case it was the Nvidia Control panel.

could access it by right-clicking my desktop and select Nvidia Control panel.
and there was an option to adjust screen position and size.

make sure your video card driver is updated too..
my adjustment wouldnt stay after a reboot until i updated.

Hm, I have an ATI card.

Anyone know of a way to adjust the screen with an ATI card.  I'll attempt to do the same thing you did, though.

Thank you!
