Big screen TV as monitor..

Rleggett

We are having a significant issue! I would really appreciate your help. We just bought a big screen TV brand new, when we tried to connect it to open LP. It won't sync properly the open LP letters on the computer will be extremely overblown and it won't show on the TV at all. I am looking for any suggestions. Thank you

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!

We really need more information about your setup. Eg version of OpenLP, what OS are you running, what screen resolutions etc.

It may sound trivial, but make sure the TV is working as an extended monitor with your system. If it is set to mirror the main monitor, the system may not be capable of using different resolutions. This can throw the large screen way off.
If the system is not using the TV correctly before you run OpenLP, then OpenLP cannot make it any better.

I set our large screen to a lower resolution than it is capable so that our computer could work with it. Also, our system would not handle 4K with all the other stuff running.

I had the same problem with the letters been extremely blown up to a very large size but thankfully I found an old post and was able to fix it. You will need to go into your settings in OpenLP then click Configure Open LP. Click the Advanced option and then at the bottom of the Advance screen change the HDPI MODE to DPI Unaware (Windows Only). You may also have to change the scaling on your computer to 100% (this is under Display Settings). This fixed my problem. But you may have to change it every time you update OpenLP. But these steps fixed my issue.
