RCA model 26la30rqd overscan issue.
Hello guys, I was wondering if there is anyway to fix/turn off or properly adjust overscan on the TV model I'm using (RCA 26LA30RQD). I noticed some of my screen was being chopped off while playing certain games on my PS4 (none of which have options to adjust the screen), and I did a bit of research and discovered the Service menu of the tv. I did some poking around and found the Geometry tab which had H and V start position values, however they only adjust the screen up/down and left/right... there is no way to stretch or shrink ↔️↕️... its either only left, only right, only up, or only down. I was wondering if there was anything I could do, because while my Nintendo Switch has an option to shrink or stretch the screen, the PS4 does not... and overscan isn't the worst but it is a tiny bit annoying. So if any one here knows how or if overscan can be adjusted or disabled on this model of TV I'd be glad to know... I know its ~ a 10 year old TV so buying a newer TV is definitely an option. Thanks in advance for any responses, I appreciate it.

That's an LCD display?
did you go to picture settings and with between full and normal?
Yeah (Full,Normal, WaterGlass,Cinema), unfortunately that doesn't do much, normal will shrink the image and put the black bars on the side, but it still keeps the overscan for some reason. I tried everything I could find even messing with the Geometry under the service menu to no avail.
It looks like there are only fine tuning controls for PC input
Ah, thank you for your responses. In that case I'll probably look into newer TVs with options I want, nothing huge or fancy, but somthing without overscan preferably.
Someone else may have an answer for you. but all i can do is read the Manual PDF. there may in fact be a service menu that is undocumented.
