Since Plasma 6, the overscan feature is gone from the systemsettings page.

This makes many TVs hardly usable.

This might be the wrong repo but maybe the experts are here. Why did it disappear? Meanwhile all sorts of stuff like HDR was added.

Plasma 6.2.5
Wayland
Fedora 41 Kinoite

I am on a Laptop with an intel i7 CPU with an integrated GPU.

Overscan is normally done in the GPU, but the compositor could support it.

So this is a FR to support overscan in Kwin

According to this thread:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/monitor-overscan-gone/12184/6

> The option isn’t “gone”, but you seem to be on Intel, and the Intel driver has sadly never supported it

When you saw the overscan setting in Plasma 5, did you also have an Intel GPU?

Also, to address your comment about the compositor, another quote from that thread:
> The compositor could do it, but that’s not implemented right now. Changing that is planned, but idk when it’ll happen
