I have a 65in display samsung, when i launch Siglos the second screen shows a small black box, i can drag it to almost full screen but it doesn't look professional unless I change the wallpaper to a black one, just wondering is there a fix for this?
I didn't have this issue with smaller displays in the past..

it sounds like you are talking about the preview screen and not the extended display.
on th eplayer there is a button that looks like a computer monitor, that is the actual extended singer display. the one that is just black is for you to keep an eye on what's happening.

Could it possibly be the resolution setting on your second monitor?

can you explain a little more on what you mean by "it doesn't look professional unless I change the wallpaper to a black one"?
maybe a picture so we can see what you are seeing.

My wallpaper is in a blue background, the black display used for singing is small but it can be expanded to almost full screen so the blue wallpaper edges are still showing, i could just make the wallpaper a darker one, i was just asking if there is a fix for this? This is a 65" TV

the extended display should automatically fill the second screen.
what resolution are you using on the tv?

It normally does fill the screen but on TVs above 50 inch it doesn't

Checking on the status of this bug.

I have been using my laptop connected to the 55-inch HDTV set at 1080p resolution. Karaoke Professional worked perfectly and filled the entire screen. I decided to take an extra Samsung All-In-One computer and dedicate it to my karaoke system. So I am connecting the all-in-one via HDMI to the same 55-inch HDTV at 1080p. I set up Karaoke Professional to run full screen on the 2nd monitor. But I can only get it to display a smaller picture in the top left corner. I have attached a picture to see the problem.

The all-in-one is using the on-board Intel HD graphics. I updated to the very latest display driver from Intel. Any other software I run like VLC Media Player will expand to fill the screen correctly.

You may define and remember the exact position of the full screen window in Settings / Display. Please try resizing the full screen so it covers entire area and then use 'Use current positon' in Settings / Display. If this does not work, please try to adjust the coordinates in Settings / [secondary monitor section] Edit,

I manually dragged the borders to fill the screen and then "use current position". Restarted the program and it locked in at full screen using my custom settings.

I wanted to come back to report that I actually figured out the problem and truly "fixed" it so full screen mode works as intended.

The problem was that Windows 10 scaling mode defaulted to 150% for my 55-inch TV. So open up your Windows display properties, select your 2nd monitor where you want to display the lyrics, and set the scaling to 100%. I then rebooted the computer (this might be unneeded), opened up KP, set it for 2nd monitor and open full screen. It worked perfectly!

So Windows scaling was the issue.

Yes, I have worked that out too. We will provide a fix for this next week, new version will be aware of scaling and should set the position correctly. Thank you for your input!
