My laptop has Optimus support (it has an Intel integrated card and an NVidia discrete card). I just installed optimus-manager and when I switch to the nvidia driver my screen does not fit into the monitor. Same thing happens when i use multiple monitors trough HDMI.
xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution
screen #0:
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (508x285 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Resolution is correct but my monitor is not 508x285 millimeters.

xdpyinfo caclulates the output dimensions from given DPI and geometry, the number doesn't determine anything - what's the output of "xrandr -q"?
Also I'm not quite sure what the actual problem here is, can you please elaborate on "screen does not fit into the monitor"?

My fault, everything works fine on my laptop monitor now. Unfortunately when I connect my laptop to my TV using the HDMI port, the screen still does not fit into the TV monitor.

I meant that my i3 screen does not fit into the monitor borders. The i3 screen is too big and part of it is cut off by TV borders. For example: I can move my mouse cursor "beyond" TV borders and the cursor disappears. The status bar is not visible, but if I move the cursor on the bottom right I can see the tooltips from the system tray applets. So the bottom and the right part of my screen is "outside" the TV monitor and I would like to resize it in order to make it fit into the monitor.
Sorry for my bad english.

The TV has probably an overscan feature - ideally you can switch it off there - otherwise you'll have the viewport transformation in nvidia settings to map the output into a smaller geometry, but that means the GPU scales the output down so that the TV can upscale it w/o harm - that's lossy and will result in a blurry image.

I found a TV setting that solved the problem. Thank you!

Cool.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
