Adjusting picture position on television screen
« on: July 25, 2013, 01:46:07 pm »
I have a TV that I've got in a cab and the picture looks as though it needs to move a little to one side.  Is there a way to fix this?  I looked in the TV and I don't see any adjustments that can be made there.  It's a magnavox hotel TV so maybe there's something in the setup somewhere?

possibilities are:

1. adjust the horiz position via a control inside the tv on the tv circuit board (which you say is not present unfortunately)
2. adjust the horiz position via the tv service menu (obviously first you will need to figure out how to get into the tv service menu.. and then hope that option is present)
3. adjust the horiz position externally (eg. within your windows/software setup, if that's what u are using)

ps. would help if u mentioned model number of tv, and what hardware/software u are running

a general google search found this:

Fortunately, it's a phillips TV.  I'll have to try getting into the service mode and try to do it. 

Oddly enough when I stick a different board on it, it works fine.

sometimes boards have thier own horiz/vertical adjust - i know Mario Bros does at least
