[quote=105362]afair overscan_left / right etc won’t affect ES, just the framebuffer – but usually overscan_scale=1 solves problems of it being offscreen – you said you have tried that so im out of ideas. You didn’t post your config.txt though.

overscan_left / right etc for sure affect ES – I also had overscan issues in ES (the menu button icons ran over the edge of the screen) and used these settings to sort out my overscan – I had to be right up to the screen to get the pixel-perfect settings :) here’s my config.txt:

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
overscan_left=24
overscan_right=24
overscan_top=24
overscan_bottom=24

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2

# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2

# for more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt
