Re: [SOLVED] Monitor not scaling right

but thats still the log where I did the "Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "HDMI-0"
    DisplaySize  800 500
EndSection"

boot messages like grub, loading in to linux messages, and the disk check are all partly out od screen. but when i start a pure arch linux installer the verbose boot and ui of the arch installer is fine too

i don't really understand what you mean with that

Re: [SOLVED] Monitor not scaling right

Look at the log file. Does it say "DisplaySize" anywhere?

when i start a pure arch linux installer the verbose boot and ui of the arch installer

What UI of what installer?
You're probably running nomodeset/VGA and the Tv doesn't overscan.

i don't really understand what you mean with that

What "that"? Overscanning?

What Model is your Tv exactly?
