Hello! I use a tv as my monitor (1920x1080) and it isn’t too old  (2015 Samsung smart tv) Well my tv has an over scale problem if that’s what you call it where a bit of the top and the side of the image I’m displaying isn’t displayed on the tv. So I went into my nvidia control panel and resized it so it I can see everything. It made my resolution lower by a small amount ( around 1900x1070 or something like that I don’t remember) and well it looks a bit squished but I can live with it. Then I went into the resolution tab and made it 1920x1080. Now don’t scold at me for this, and I play fortnite. Which option will be better for me playing and general use, using 1920x1080 or the resolution after resizing? Or should I not even resize at all and leave it like it is? Thank you!

why are you asking it here? Play like you like the most. 1920x1080 is better looking with only minor impact on performance. But its your call

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

This is called overscan, and a 2015 TV will definitely have an option to turn it off. This is way easier than the unnecessary workaround that you are attempting.

 

Edit: Menu > Picture > Picture Options > Size > Screen Fit
