1080 resolution

[Moni29]

Weird thing happened out of the blue yesterday. My tv screen, which is set to 1080p resolution, suddenly changed to about half the size as usual. Centered in the screen but tiny. Screen reverts back to full size if I set resolution to 720. Changing the screen size on the TV itself does nothing. Help please?

Apologies, yes you did.

A 2011 TV won’t be UHD, so I’m assuming HD. I’m not sure which device you are changing the resolution on, but I’m assuming the Mini box, because a 2011 TV probably doesn’t offer much choice apart from 4:3 and 16:9, and maybe one or two intermediate variants on that.

I can see how an HD picture can go quarter-sized on a UHD TV, but what’s happening on yours, I have no idea.

Can you try a different HDMI cable, see if that helps?

I'll have a dig around and see if I have one, I think I do. I've unplugged it and replugged it to no avail. The tv picture comes in fine when it shrinks, it's just tiny!  It's just bizarre. Back tomorrow.

Mystery solved!  Dug around and found a different HDMI cable, which of course was too short for me to use without tons of impossible shenanigans with my current knee situation so I thought I'd just try switching the cable to a different HDMI input on the tv. And it worked!  Thanks so much for guiding me to the cable, which led to the connector on the tv. Never would have thought that was it as the mini picture was good and clear, just tiny. But there we are, eh?  I'm good to go now and get back to recovery!  Thanks again!
