Hi Alan, Without being familiar with your specific gear and setup, the following is fairly general.
If the truncation is happening on your TV screen it may be down to your TV's screen setting. Different TVs seem to do this differently but generally somewhere in the Smart TV menu there will be various setup pages and somewhere there will be screen settings - maybe called screen mode or aspect ratio or display settings. Some of these may "stretch" the picture or truncate top and/or bottom - these used to be a lot more of a problem in the early days when broadcasters and TVs seemed to have more variance in broadcast and display resolutions - and less smarts to auto detect and display. I'm not familiar with the 4th gen Apple TVs but the older ones also had settings to allow you to select your desired output resolution to match whatever display/TV you were connected to. So - if both are relevant to your setup, I would suggest you check both sets of settings: • resolution setting on the Apple TV • screen settings on your smart TV Somewhere amongst that you should be able to match the output of your Apple TV to the display area on your TV.

I can scroll down to view all thumbnails. However the bottom row is truncated and the titles and lower part of the cover art cannot be seen. I need to read the title! This problem has existed for a year or so. I am using an Apple TV HD (4th Generation) with tvOS 13.3.1 connected to a Panasonic ET5A series smart TV. Any solution? Do other wamug members have a similar experience?
