I've tested 2 skin with vu+ zero box Openpli 4.0, 15-01-16 build:

metrixhd.wpstyle.mod.pli (3.1)

mymetrixhd (1.5)

 

I've found problems in them. Metrixhd 3.1 doesn't fit well in my TV screen, imposible to make it fit, but it load with no problem, as a normal boot. Mymetrixhd 1.5 fits well but takes up to 5 minutes to load the system. Can anybody recommend a metrix skin to load without these problems?

 

Thank you very much.

If it doesn't fit (i.e. you loose the edges), your TV has overscan enabled, and you need to turn that off. Overscan is a relic from the analog age, no need for it on a digital TV.

For many TV's there is an option in the (hidden) service menu. Look for it ;)

If you tell us the exact make and model, perhaps someone knows how to do it.

 

Or ask Google, you're not the first with this problem, manufacturers still ship with overscan default enabled for some reason...

 Overscan is a relic from the analog age, no need for it on a digital TV.

Overscan can still be useful for some SD channels that somehow have small black bars and other image anomalies on the edges of picture, it's not Aspect Ratio correction black bars...it's on the video stream itself.

Of course this only happens on a couple of channels. Better have it disabled to have full video frame visible on other channels.

That is because the provider makes a mess of it, when converting not-so-original material. You see it most on cheap low-bugget channels.

 

The white bars (not black!) are a remnant of an analog recording in which the first line was used to hide stuff like teletext information, which on an old CRT tube was always hidden because it had overscan.

My LG 50PC55 doesn't show any option in hidden menu, so I abandon the issue, I'll use Pli-HD default skin. Thank you!!

What options do you have for "Aspect Ratio"?

 

On most LG's it's something like "16:9/Just Scan/Original/ 4:3/14:9/Zoom1/Zoom2". The default being "16:9" which enables about 5% overscan (as an indication, look here, you miss both the pink and the yellow area of the image!).

 

Change it to "Just scan" or "Original".

Exactly as my Samsung, 16:9 enables a bit of overscan. Original/fit screen does not overscan, so it's the one to use.
