If you cannot see the edges of the menu, or the channel’s writing is cut off, this is usually a TV setting.

Start

Find the picture size setting

On your TV’s remote, press Settings or Menu. Look for Picture, then Picture Size or Aspect Ratio.

Choose Fit or Just Scan

Look for Fit, Screen Fit, Just Scan or Original. These names all show the picture without cutting anything off. Avoid Zoom.

Adjust on your Fire TV

On a Fire TV, go to Settings, Display & Sounds, Display, then Calibrate Display. Use the arrows until the arrows on screen just touch the edges.

Check the app

If only your TV app looks wrong, look for Screen Size in the app’s settings. Choose Fit or Auto.

Final step

Test another channel

Some channels send a stretched or narrow picture. Try a different one to see whether it is only that channel.
