Magnified screen after disconnecting HDMI cable

Hello, after connecting my MacBook Air to the TV using a HDMI cable, when disconnecting it the screen on the laptop is magnified. I tried to zoom out (command+option+-) but it would not solve it. What do I need to do to fix it? Thanks

Overscan issue with mac connected to Samsung LCD TV via HDMI Irritatingly, the image overscans - but - if I looked at the back of the TV ( not a monitor ) there is an HDMI socket labeled DVI. This obviously stands for Digital Video Interface - what is less obvious is that it does NOT overscan :-) Thanks to many helpful posts - that are shut now so I can't update them

HDMI I have a Macbook Pro. I'm connecting it to my TV. When I use the HDMI cord, everything get small on the macscreen and when I unplug it, everything returns to normal on my screen. How do I keep my screen the same when I connect my HDMI cord?

M1 Mac Mini Overscan Issue I recently bought M1 Mac Mini. I have it connected to my Samsung 46 inch TV. It looks there is an overscan issue. The top menu bar cannot be seen. I have Big Sur 11.2.3. I also don’t see the underscan slider bar in the Display settings.
