If i connect my laptop through hdmi to an external monitor, then the resolution is somehow bigger. I mean, i cannot see some part of my top and bottom panels, same for the left and right panels. Some part of desktop is missing. Now, the strange is that with the same resolution, if i connect through VGA everything is ok. In windows, i was able to scale screen, so make it fit my screen, keeping the shame resolution. Is that possible in KDE?
Most TV screens have some sort of overscan which makes the picture a little bigger than it actually is. You probably can configure your TV to use "Auto" or force 16:9 aspect ratio (worked on my Samsung SmartTV).
Thanks for the advise! I managed to configure it through the tv monitor. However, I still think that scale possibility should be added to kde, but i leave that up to the devs to decide.
Changing this to wish for further evaluation. Thanks for the tip !

Almost 6 years later and the problem persists... There is no plasma panel on external monitor connected to my laptop through hdmi port when multi-scrren mode is configured as "unified outputs". The same monitor connected to the same laptop through dsub port shows plasma panel. Distro Neon dev unstable.

There's now an overscan setting for TVs.
