rotate display 1 degree?

Okay I have a somewhat old (one of the first TVs to use 1080p lol) DLP by samsung, but when using it as a PC monitor over VGA, the display is tilted just slightly.  You can't tell unless you look at the edges and how bits are cut off on one side and some black underscan showing on the other. 

 

I can't seem to find any way of using GPU drivers or any utilities that allow very minute rotating.  Anyone know of one?

    Have you checked your monitor (TV) settings if you could use those to rotate the picture back to its proper place?

    Afaik rotating picture just 1 degree through drivers isn't really possible. You might find a program that displays black edges to create an effect that looks like if the picture's been rotated, but then you'd lose pixels to display those black edges, it would take processing power to do the rotation, and compatibility of such things with games is uncertain.

    no, there's no way to do this on the TV.  Consoles and such use overscan and take care near edges to hide flaws like these, but not the case on a PC.

     

    The problem is more mechanical based than anything else.  It's rear projection and vga is analog, so either of these can produce an issue like this. 

     

    Was just hoping for a way of correcting it.
