The default TV settings might not work for you, be it picture, audio, or any other setting. Some users have issues with the default zoom or magnification settings on the TCL TV.
While most of the content looks good on TV, some old or cropped media requires magnification. In such cases, you can alter the Picture or Zoom settings on the TCL TV to suit your needs.
This post will discuss multiple methods to magnify the screen on numerous TCL TV variants, including the Android TV, Google TV, and Roku TV. Let’s begin.
How to Magnify Screen on TCL Android TV
TCL Android TV UI has the simplest magnification settings compared to other models. Here’s how you can access the zoom settings:
Step 1: Press the Settings button on the TV remote.
Step 2: Scroll down to the TV settings option and select it.
Step 3: Go to Display > Screen Position option.
Step 4: You’ll find two options: Zoom in screen and Zoom out screen. Select either one and keep pressing the OK button on the remote to adjust the levels.
Step 5: The percentage indicator will tell the current level of magnification.
Step 6: Exit the Settings page.
How to Magnify Screen on TCL Google TV
Google TV is a modified version of the older Android TV with new TCL TV models. The zoom settings appear under a different section with a different name than usual.
Repeat the following steps:
Step 1: Press the Settings button on the remote.
Step 2: Navigate to Display and Sound > Screen section.
Step 3: Turn off the Auto Display Area feature if it is active. Otherwise, select the Display Area option.
Step 4: Highlight the +1 option and press the OK button to increase the zoom level.
Step 5: To decrease the zoom levels, highlight the -1 option and adjust it similarly.
After you don’t need the zoom mode, you can revisit this option and select the Normal mode to reset the TV to default zoom settings.
How to Magnify Screen on TCL Roku TV
Like every other TV OS, the RokuOS offers picture and resolution settings. Here’s how to use it to magnify content on your TV.
Repeat the following steps:
Step 1: Play a video on your TV and then press the Settings button.
Step 2: Go to the Picture Size option and then use the direction keys to select between Stretch, Zoom, Direct, and Normal options.
Step 3: Exit the picture settings.
RokuOS doesn’t offer granular zoom adjustments like Google and Android TV. So, you have to stick with the default presets.
