 WHY:  some HDTV's do not offer control of the visible area, for HDMI input mode.

It's great having a 32" TV as your third monitor,
especially when you use the TV's HDMI input
(better resolution, than possible with VGA).

But my Panasonic TC-L32U3 does not allow control of the vertical or horizontal *STRETCH*, for HDMI mode.  (You can control them for "PC" input mode, but not HDMI.)

Sure, I could avoid using "maximize" with Remote Desktop... but then you have to scroll the window to use the taskbar... (then taskbar is not a shortcut anymore)... the mouse regularly disappears beyond the visible area... you have to "grope in the dark" with the mouse pointer if you want to move/disconnect/etc a Remote Desktop window, and you have to constantly POSITION windows, rather than use maximize.  


So, could there be a way to either:
(1) BEST:  
limit or control the dimensions of the entire desktop, of the monitor (software control of stretch), to be less than the DisplayLink driver setting
(for example, LOOKING LIKE a little less than 1920x1080)???

or (2) HELPFUL:  
control the size & position of any window WITHIN that desktop, that "maximize" would be set to a specific size and position, less than the actual desktop?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

- Unfortunately, we are not able to realize this.

- You could try to use the "Restrict placement" ( http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/restrict.php ) in Default Settings to get this behavior.

Best regards.
