Pesky Black Bars

Sat Nov 23, 2013 10:47 pm

I've worked through the wiki and got the side black bars to go away but the top and bottom bars remaine...

I'm using a TV and HDMI cable. It seems like the screen resolution is off. It's cutting the image off at the top and the bottom. Using overscan_top and overscan_bottom pushes the text under the black bars. It doesn't move the bar up or down.

Settings I've uncommented:

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=4

disable_overscan=1

overscan_left=50
overscan_right=50
overscan_top=-50
overscan_bottom=-50

I've spent hours on this and can get the top and bottom bars to go away, any ideas?
