Same issue with the cropped edges here.
Same issue with the cropped edges here.
I had a dream last night that this was fixed with the 2.1 update. Sadly, it was not.
really!!? are we kidding? seven pages of people complaining and no solution? I had this problem with the ps3 display I purchased and got it fixed with a lot of tinkering. multiple real life friends have fixed it with tinkering. it can be done. unfortunately the same buttons on my new tv are not the same as on the display and I really wish I knew what I did... when I tinker it out I will post it... look forward to helping us all soon. btw anyone got good fc on ixion? about to transfer to zaleria
I have another problem that is, I think, related to this.
After playing around with the resolution settings on both my PS3 and TV, I discovered that 16;9 + my TV's wide view setting show the largest visible area (unsure whether it now shows everything, but it definitely shows more than before). I adjusted the HUD to these new settings.
My problem however is that every single time I log in parts of the HUD move back inwards. The result is that several things start to overlap each other to the point of being unreadable, as they get pushed back to some sort of invisible boundary.
I have grown accustomed to re-arranging the HUD as soon as I log in, but it is somewhat annoying.
I'll try to take some screenshots to illustrate the problem.
The underlying issue is in the TV - it does not support full frame HD (but for film/broadcast it's not required to).
You will have similar issues on any HD equipment you connect (with my old Samsung TV, the HD cable box had some channels where the bottom part of the subtitles was cut off); and if you play a HD video on the PS3, it will also show less than the same clip shown on a PC monitor. If your TV has no option to switch to better behaviour (and it usually won't), there is no fix.
Given that plenty of these older not-quite-hd TVs are still out there, it does make sense for game developers to support them, either by avoiding putting anything relevant in 10% of the screen along the borders (in which case you just lose some viewable area, but can still see all text), or by supporting "scaling" of the entire screen. But good luck getting support from S/E for this before the PS4 version is released (which will likely suffer from the same problem -in fact since it will want to use 1080p, there may be more TVs with such issues (since some TVs do 720p just fine, but lose edges in 1080p)).
Add me to the list of people with this issue. All other games work fine, PS3 menus work fine, but as soon as I get to the login screen the outer edges are cropped by an inch. My tv is Vizio 720p, so it is not limited to a 1080p issue.
Weird.
I had this issue for months. I fixed it by going into the TV settings and changing the aspect ratio (the thing that has options like cinema, game, panoramic, etc.) to 'full' or something like that. My TV is a cheap department store model, so it's nothing special. And my XMB fit before I changed the setting. There's just more of it now.
Given the solution, I can't see how this is a client-side problem.
So I have found a great solution to item help problems. Go into ui settings through character configuration and locate the help section, find the position subsection and set it as -next to cursor-
I have a 55" Panasonic Vierra TV. I can adjust the display size on my set by pressing Menu, going to Aspect Adjustments under "Picture", then changing the "Size" from "SIZE 1" to "SIZE 2". Your TV may or may not have this option.
Many TVs enlarge the image showing only 90~95% of the screen, cropping the edges of the screen off. This is called overscan (click for the wikipedia article for indepth explaination). Other games for the PS3 include a "size adjustment" option which presents the user and asks them to resize an onscreen "box" so that all four corners appear on screen.
