The ability to change the picture size on your Samsung TV is dependent on the source from which you're streaming content. Picture size settings can be adjusted when you're watching content from TV sources, external inputs, and USB sources (in other words, when the content within a USB device is played through the TV’s video player). However, when using certain apps, such as Samsung TV Plus or other streaming apps, the option to change the picture size may not be possible because of the app’s policies.

Follow these steps to change the picture settings on your Samsung TV.

1 On your TV, select the source (TV signal, external input, or USB drive) for the picture size you'd like to change.
2 Navigate to Settings, then select All Settings, and then select Picture.
3 Select Picture Size Settings. From here, you can adjust the following settings:
