Adjusting the Picture Size on a Samsung TV Without the Remote
If you’ve lost or misplaced the remote for your Samsung TV, don’t worry – there are still ways to adjust the picture size without it. Here’s how to do it:
Using the buttons on the TV
If your Samsung TV has buttons on the front or the side, you can use them to access the TV’s menu and adjust the picture size. Here’s how:
- Locate the buttons on the front or side of your TV. These may include buttons for power, channel, volume, and menu.
- Turn on your TV and press the “Menu” button on the TV. This will open the TV’s main menu.
- Use the arrow buttons on the TV to navigate to the “Picture” or “Picture Settings” option in the menu. This option may be in a sub-menu under “Settings” or “Options.”
- Once you’ve selected the “Picture” or “Picture Settings” option, use the arrow buttons to navigate to the “Picture Size” option. This may also be called “Screen Fit” or “Picture Mode.”
- Use the arrow buttons to select the picture size that you want. The available options may include “16:9” (widescreen), “4:3” (standard), and “Zoom” (for zooming in on the picture).
- Press the “Enter” or “OK” button on the TV to save your changes and exit the menu.
Using a Universal Remote
If you don’t have the buttons on your Samsung TV, or if they aren’t working, you can try using a universal remote to adjust the picture size. Here’s how:
- Get a universal remote that is compatible with your Samsung TV. These can be purchased at most electronics stores or online.

- Once the universal remote is programmed, turn on your TV and press the “Menu” button on the universal remote. This will open the TV’s main menu.
- Use the arrow buttons on the universal remote to navigate to the “Picture” or “Picture Settings” option in the menu. This option may be in a sub-menu under “Settings” or “Options.”
- Once you’ve selected the “Picture” or “Picture Settings” option, use the arrow buttons to navigate to the “Picture Size” option. This may also be called “Screen Fit” or “Picture Mode.”
- Use the arrow buttons to select the picture size that you want. The available options may include “16:9” (widescreen), “
