Built in Chromecast not full screen on TV

by McNooberson

Hello,

I got a new TV recently that has built in Chromecast. The TV is a Sony 55" 4K Smart TV, model#XBR55X800E.

I am trying to cast using my Google Pixel XL (same issue with wife's Samsung Note 5). I am using supported apps, and even Google produced apps with the same issue.

The issue is that when I cast a video to the TV using it's built in Chromecast, it only shows on about 2/3 of the screen and is pinned to the top left of the screen. When I use my regular Chromecast I plug into the TV, I do not experience any issues.

Any thoughts on what the reason for this is, or how to fix it?

I have seen this in the CW app and another one (don't recall which). I think it is a scaling issue with the app itself that is casting.

Check you're TVs overscan .

Go into the input Source setting .

Under picture settings change it to .16.9

If you need more help I would Google you're tv model and ask how to check or change overscan

Had the same thing happen when I asked my Google Home to to show me a CW show.
