why is my screen so small on launch??

Am brand new to the gaming world.  I have just bought a  new  PC gaming tower and F1 23 and am playing on my new Samsung large screen TV,  but when I launch the game it is like picture on picture and it is not possible to play.  The game is so small and pinned to the top left corner of my TV.  I am not very tech oriented so don't know how to address this. Someone advised to use "alt/enter" when the game is running which I did, and it worked just the one time but I have not been able to replicate this.

If anybody can walk me through how to fix this I would be so grateful!

Thanks

  • @SandyHorseGirl  If anyone knows off the top off their head @SteveJackson  will.

    But it could possibly be a setting in your TV display settings that could be the reason. As TVs these days have so many setting options.  Be sure to check your picture mode.  With TVs they will have a game mode.  But I’m not sure how that works for PC as they will also have a PC/Graphics mode.  Have you looked at your TVs instruction manual to check what settings it recommends

    Try deleting the hatdware_settings_config.xml from

    C:\users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\F1 23\hardware_settings

    Substitute C for your system drive letter if you don’t have the documents stored in the default location.
