I need to get extreme under scan on display.

Something burped in my Mac a few hours ago and I need to unhide the side edges of the Finder.


That's addressed in another thread.


What I'm hoping for is access to more powerful under-scanning than the locked into 'Dumb' mode Display preferences is now. [Panasonic flatscreen TV-only as of now] All allowed resolutions hide their side regions as is.


I can improve it with the allowed under-scan slider, but not enough to see critical side regions of the Finder.


If I could shrink the Finder enough to fill the visible screen with out any hidden sides of it, I would be okay.


HOW can I access more advanced display settings for this Mac Mini ??? [ they were there when I set up this Mac a couple of years ago for this TV, two OS's ago ]

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), Using Panasonic 39" TV at 1080

I have the solution.......


After trying a great many other things for about five hours.....


I swapped the video input on the TV to another socket.


Like MAGIC, my full screen is back !!!!


Let this be a lesson to me........... I/you/we MUST try different cable connections as one of the FIRST attempted fixes.


Normally, I would do just that.......... I wish I had..........


Now to sort of rebuild the set-up of the computer and get everything back where it was.
