You can't. There are no adjustments for height and width. Not all programs were shot on 16 x 9 wide screen resolution so it will leave the screen with black spaces . around the edges. Nothing wrong with the TV, and nothing you can do other than the zoom buttons you use now.

hi
you can zoom in by going in the computers properties and then in the settings then there will be a bar of resolutions by changing the resolution you can change the zoom

Hi, welcome to FixYa.

I assume you use netbook, right? Try this to increase resolutions on your netbook:

Your question is a little vague but I will give it a shot.

Older programs, and some newer ones, do not work well at higher screen resolutions.

Try changing your screen resolution to 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.

The Windows Help and Support program on your computer explains how to change resolution if you don't know how.

If this helps please vote for my solution.

Unfortunately some netbooks are not designed to play games, better on PC with good graphics display where you can adjust the resolution.

Simply change the screen resolution.
Steps
Right Click on your Desktop
Click Properties
Then go to the Display settings
Select a lower resolution
Your problem will be solved

Cheers

Yes, resolution settings can be a pain, but the good news is you know how and where to change the settings.

After years of dealing with this same problem I pay no attention to what Windows recommend, but instead try many different settings each time I do a new Windows install.

And as you know, you can also change Icon sizes and text size too... So I just pick the resolution that works best and looks best 'to me'.

If you use Chrome you are in luck for Google fonts...

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More .
3. Next to "Zoom," choose the zoom options you want: Make everything larger: Click Zoom in . Make everything smaller: Click Zoom out . Use full-screen mode: Click Full screen.

Lots of luck with other Browsers though.

Contacted the company who gave the good advice of changing the DPI settings and also showed us 2 different ways of how to do it. For anyone who has the same problem try right clicking the desktop and click on personalise, adjust font size to default and save,. Alternatively click start, control panel, appearance & themes, change screen resolution, settings, advanced, DPI to normal 96 DPI and save. Thanks for your help we will always check this site if problems in future.

To change the resolution back to something more reasonable go to the control panel (start, settings, control panel) and double left click on the Display icon. Click on the settings tab. The color quality should be set a high as possible, usually 32 bit or true color. Then click on the Advanced button in the lower right corner and on the next screen click on the Monitor tab. In the Monitor settings make sure the Screen refresh rate is set between 70 and 75 Hertz (the higher the number the less obvious the screen flicker will be but don?t set any higher). Click on the OK button to go back to the previous screen. Once that is set you want to increase the Screen Resolution using the slider bar to the left. For a 19? screen you would want to set it to a minimum of at least 1024 x 768. The typical setting is 1280 x 1024 depending on monitor / video card capabilities and personal tastes. Once you get the resolution back to the original settings your screen will display as it did before the ?change?. If you find another resolution setting you like better we?ll need to make some adjustments to the monitor itself. Just let us know. Ordinarily screen resolution changes doesn?t just happen, it?s usually the result of a program, user or problem. If that is the case you?ll need to post anther question along with details about what is happening just before the change occurs along with your operating system and any other pertinent information.
