Can't get screen size calibration to stick on Pi 4B with LG 55" TV

Hello All. New user here.

Yesterday I installed the newest version of Libreelec on new Pi4B w 2gb memory with newest firmware eproms flashed. Outputting to an Lg 55" smart TV over HDMI.

I have tried through the system menus to adjust the display size as Kodi is off the edge of the screen by about 4 centimeters. It's easy enough to set, but doesn't stay. Seems that maybe going into certain screens reset it, as it works for a while, and even survives a reboot, but at times it doesn't.

I have not made changes to my /flash/config.txt file, I don't know if that will make the screen size stick. Seems like a pretty serious problem, I'm surprised this isn't easy. Resolution is 1920x1080, refresh is 59.3 or whatever the tv is, and it's driving me nuts.

You shouldn't touch Kodi's screen calibration to fix the overscan. Overscan should be disabled in your TV's settings.

On LG TVs the setting to disable overscan is called "Just Scan", it has to be set to "on". On my 55C8 it's in Settings->Picture->Aspect Ratio Settings.

so long,

Thank you so much. Changing it to Just Scan or let program set seemed to both work. Appreciate your help.
