How To Scale Windows To Fit Your TV: (Easy Fix)

Hey everyone.

Had an issue where when I tried to use my TV as a monitor for a PC I had just built, Windows wouldn't scale or fit to the display. The issue isnt with your PC, it's with your TV's aspect ratio and scaling.

Here's how to fix it:
1. Find your settings menu
2. Look for "Aspect Ratio" or the equivalent settings tab
3. Your TV should be defaulting to an aspect ratio such as 16:9 or something else. Change this to "Just Scan" or "Scale to Fit"
4. Save your settings

This was an easy fix for me, so I thought this might help someone see it visually. If you're still having problems, leave them down in the comments and either I or someone on YouTube can hopefully answer your question :).

Here's the post where I found the solution:

Thanks and God Bless!

You're the real deal my friend, I spent days looking for a tutorial here on Youtube to help me fix this problem. Kudos and keep up the good work!

You are a godsend, my friend. I was going crazy in my computer's display settings changing scale and resolution settings, I updated my graphics driver, ran windows updates.. nothing. Thank you for pointing out it was my tv settings. Have no idea how aspect ration changed to 4-way zoom.

Very cool. I just bought two modern Gateway laptops for a great price from Microcenter and the picture was too big for the tv screen. Your tv menu search to the screen fit tip worked perfectly. Thanks a million.
