Alright so my bro has a Samsung TV thats hes using as a monitor for his computer.Now the issue is that when he plays his games on the tv,he cant see the whole game screen.The screen goes out of view at the edges.So is there some setting or somthing i need to play with so we can see the whole game screen?

does he have a second monitor connected at the same time? Does he set the proper resolution for the tv? On the tv settings you can change it to wide, wide full screen, full screen, and etc which can do this at times like on my tv.

Check the aspect ratio, and just play with it.

Should be listed under the graphic setting in the game you're playing.

What's the model of the samsung tv?

It should have a maximum resolution for the input that you're using.

What are you using to connect to the tv? DVI? HDMI?

You can also play with your graphic cards advanced settings, sometimes you can tweak it better there.

could be the tv aspect ratio. check also if its window or full screen on the game setting.

go to the nvidia setting and check the ratios or screen options there

[BOROSUN]

It's a overscan problem .

Or its a resolution setting issue. just change the resolution down a step and fiddle with it until you get it where you need it. it should be under options--->video settings.
