No underscan option in display settings

Currently running Mac mini through an old HD TV and there's no underscan option in sys prefs nor on the TV set itself.

Is there a way of forcing this? I am unable to see edges of the screen and have been able to underscan in the past with other TVs...

Mac mini, macOS 12.5

Hey there edpurves,


Try the steps listed below to help with underscan options on your Mac and Apple TV. Continue with the link as well for additional options that might also help:


Adjust the screen size
When viewing content from your Mac or iOS device on your TV or projector, you can adjust the screen size to fit your TV or projector. You can look for these settings on your Mac, your Apple TV, or in the menu of your TV or projector.

Adjust from the menu on your Mac
While mirroring your Mac to a TV or projector, go to System Preferences > Displays. From here, you can use the slider to adjust the overscan or underscan setting. 
If you see an option to change the screen resolution, you can choose the one that matches the dimensions of your TV or projector. If necessary, check your TV or projector's manual to find the display resolution.

Take care!
