I'm new here. well to get to the point I recently bought a Samsung HL-T5076S off a friend who needed money for $400! I think I got a deal. But anyways I got it hooked it up and was beautiful. Now its the 3rd day and my niece was messing with it turning it off and on and no idea what else and now my screen looks wierd (Picture Below) I've read up on it or tried to and seems to be overscan? Does anyone know how to fix this? Or whats causing this? Any help would be nice thanks!

try switching the resolutions on the cable box. My DirecTV can do that via the remote.

It's the FORMAT button on my remote:

Have you clicked thru the zoom button on the remote. It just looks like the zoom setting needs to be adjusted. Just start hitting the button till it looks good.

And rapid on/off sequences will ruin the tv.

One more random thought then I'm out of thoughts. Try changing the aspect ratio on the tv to "just scan" then back to 16:9, or if just scan fixes it, leave it alone. See if maybe it unlocks something.

It's either the aspect ratio setting in the cable box as M3 Pete suggested or on the tv. You'll have to check around a little
