First, if I disbale overscan, I get the screen not displaying everything from the beginning and I take for example the FFXV Premium Theme: The Square-Enix trademark words thing don't get displayed fully because it looks zoomed in. Maximizing screen in PS4 setting even worsens the scenario.
So I would rather keep overscan on, since it messes up the whole thing.
(Btw, I said in a previous post that disabling overscan makes the blacks bars a little smaller but that is all). I can have FFXV displayed in full screen by maxmimizng the screen size in PS4 settings, but this is really infuriating to keep shrinking it every time I play other games and sometimes I forget to do it and get messed up screen. This is like many games which have so many other languages whether for the menu or for subtitles or for voices but you don't have an option to switch all of those in the game and you have to switch the whole console system to do it. This is really very dumb.
Something weird I noticed in that screen display option: on the bottom it is said this only works for certain apps.
So this is like I said for all the otehr games it is fine but not in FFXV the only AAA game that has this issue besides some indies and PS2 classics. Really weird tbh.
Ah, okay, there was a misunderstanding with what we both meant with active/disabled overscan.
We used it in the exact opposite way. To clearify what I meant (and how I think the term overscan is used normally):
-Overscan on = TV zooms in / edges cut off
-Overscan off = TV shows image in full
So that's all good on your end there, TV doesn't zoom in, keep it that way.
I don't understand why other games are cut off when using max screensize and the TV isn't zooming in, that shouldn't happen.
When adjusting the screensize in the PS4 settings, can you still see the corner markers at max setting? If not try reducing until you can see them and they align with your TVs screen edge. Just to make sure, this is how it should look:
If you can see them at max screensize then I don't know whats going on either. Because when the corner markers in the PS4 setting are perfectly aligned with your TV ALL games should display correctly and you shouldn't need to ever change it.
And yes, not all apps support the systemwide screen setting, but these apps don't matter right now since, well, they are not affected by it.
Or am I misunderstanding you and the UI/subtitles in other games are not cut off, but just to close to the edge for your liking at full screensize?
In Hitman for example this is how the menu looks with min screen size (standard setting I think):
And this at max screen size (how it should be):
).
