Hi, I have black bars on my screen, top and bottom. How do I move the entire picture so that it's at the bottom, and has the black bars just on the top?

Thanks, help is appreciated =)

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
I want it to stay at the resolution 1920 x 918, but how do I move the entire picture, so that the black bars are just on the top of the screen?

1920 x 1080 makes the screen full screen, but I need to make the screen vertically smaller.

Computer monitors are usually a ratio of 16X9 or 16x10. Width x Height A lot depends upon the graphics adapter or Add-in card as to what is supported. I have 4 computers connected via KVM switch and set the display on them at 1920x1080 for my 24" monitor. Same for another setup with 2 computers and 27" monitor.

A KVM switch is used if you have more then one computer, and you are using just One Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. This would not help you in your situation.

You cannot adjust the black bars, unless there is a setting on your TV.
You can only adjust the Resolution to fill out the screen.

Okay, thanks for letting me know its not possible. I was hoping for a tweak I could apply to save me money from getting a proper wide screen gaming monitor.

Cheers all and thanks for your help =)

No tweak in Windows, but there may be something you can do in the TV's own settings. Have a look in your TV's manual.
