On a Mac, go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select Displays. You will have a choice of Default or Scaled; choose Scaled and you'll get a list of different Scalings for different displays. Choose the one that works best for your TV/monitor.

I'm not a PC user but I'm certain there is a similar setting in Windows.

Good luck, computer guy! (wink)
