Anyone know if I can get The Maxifier to "squeeze" the image?
I have been able to get it to "maximize" the screen but it's zoomed in too much.
I lose information on the top and bottom as you can see in the first screenshot.
I am able to use Maxifier to move the screen upwards a tiny bit so I can see more of the bottom (and lose some of the top).
But I'd really like to squeeze the image so the top & bottom fit even though I'll get black bars on the left & right.
Can't figure out how to do that though. Anyone know if it's possible?
I'm displaying at 4K resolution btw.
And the same video file looks perfect when played in MPC-HC.
The Maxifier utility - Adjusting maxified screen size?

Btw, this is using The Maxifier so that when I start WMC, it automatically "maxifies".
If I use the manual option to "fit screen" as you see in this screenshot, it doesn't fit very well.

This appears to be overscan, and is either a setting on your TV (if you are using a TV) or a setting in your graphics card settings.

Thanks!
It's actually not though. This is my source for whole-house video and as I mentioned, that same video file looks fine when played with MPC-HC which is another media player.
It's the same on all my TV's and projector.

Wish I'd seen this post months ago.
I had been setting up WMC for "Projector" instead of "Television".
Who knew that would create overscan issues!?!?
Well, you did. Thanks for sharing that knowledge.
