The leaderboard does not fit on the screen.

How do I fix a leaderboard that does not fit on the screen?

Updated this week

Quick Answer

If your leaderboard appears cut off, cropped, or too large for the screen, the issue is usually caused by browser zoom, display resolution, fullscreen settings, or monitor scaling (overscan). Set your browser to Full Screen, confirm your resolution is at least 1920×1080 (16:9), and ensure zoom is set to 100%.


Step-by-Step: Fix a Leaderboard That Is Cut Off or Too Large

Step 1: Put Your Browser in Full Screen Mode

  1. Open your leaderboard link.

  2. Click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of your browser.

  3. Select Full Screen.

    • OR press F11 on your keyboard.

This removes browser menus and maximizes the visible display area.


Step 2: Check Your Display Resolution

The SocialPoint leaderboard is optimized for 16:9 resolution (1920×1080).

  1. Check your computer or TV display settings.

  2. Confirm the resolution is set to 1920×1080.

  3. If using a resolution checker, verify it shows 1920×1080 (16:9).

If your screen is set lower than 1920×1080, the leaderboard may not scale correctly.


Step 3: Reset Your Browser Zoom to 100%

  1. In your browser menu, locate the Zoom setting.

  2. Set Zoom to 100%.

If zoom is set above 100%, parts of the leaderboard may appear off-screen.


Step 4: Check Monitor or TV Overscan / Scaling Settings

Some TVs and external monitors apply automatic zoom (called Overscan).

  1. Open your monitor or TV display settings.

  2. Look for options such as:

    • Overscan

    • Zoom

    • Screen Fit

    • Aspect Ratio

  3. Set the display mode to Just Scan, Screen Fit, or 1:1 (depending on your device).

This ensures the full leaderboard displays correctly.


Step 5: Use an HDMI Connection (If Applicable)

If you are connecting a laptop to a TV or external display:

  • Use an HDMI cable instead of VGA.

  • HDMI supports proper 16:9 resolution and scaling.


What Happens Next

Once your display is:

  • In Full Screen

  • Set to 1920×1080

  • At 100% Zoom

  • Using correct scaling

The leaderboard should fit properly on the screen without being cut off.


Common Issues / Troubleshooting

The leaderboard is still cropped on a TV

Check for Overscan settings in the TV menu and disable it.

The leaderboard looks stretched or distorted

Make sure the display resolution is exactly 1920×1080 (16:9).


The leaderboard fits on my laptop but not on the big screen

Confirm:

  • HDMI is being used

  • The external display resolution matches 1920×1080

  • Zoom is set to 100% on the display device

The leaderboard is too small

Check that browser zoom is not set below 100%.
