Description Henning 2024-04-11 10:13:18 UTC
Description of problem:
I use the same TV as I used before and know that there was an overscan option. It must have gone away with the refresh rate stuff.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

OS: Fedora Linux 39.20240410.0 (Kinoite) 
KDE Plasma: 5.27.11 
KDE Frameworks: 5.115.0 
Qt: 5.15.12 
Kernel: 6.8.4-200.fc39.x86_64 
Compositor: wayland 

plasma-systemsettings-5.27.11-1.fc39.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect a second monitor 
2. search desperately for an overscan setting
3. become desperate
4. consult KDE community
5. They tell you it is there for them
6. assume it is a fedora bug

Actual results:
It seems the overscan feature is gone from the monitor settings?

Expected results:
there should be an overscan setting with percentages, for every monitor plugged in. This is needed for many TVs

Comment 1 Henning 2024-04-11 10:19:49 UTC
I tried to change the overscan via terminal

kscreen-doctor -o
Output: 1 eDP-1 enabled connected priority 1 Panel Modes ...
Output: 2 HDMI-A-1 enabled connected priority 2 HDMI Modes...

kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-A-1.overscan.20

It gave no errors but didnt change anything, also not after plugging out and back in. Changing to other values also didnt do anything
