Display Problem with AV receiver #505

Your system information

I'm using a nvidia GeForce GTX 750 TI and the system is connected to an Onkyo TX-NR708 AV receiver. The resolution is set to 1920x1080. Since the last OS update I've been having a display problem. The display is offset roughly 30 pixels or so off the left side of the screen. This leaves a black bar along the right side of the screen. Any attempts to adjust the overscan also won't fill in the black bar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10qJSPUIZPItvJoUsY8pJZi-8AlkrkajowA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1odVS0IiZ_2WptW-ePiRkIdx6gt1_9x9ZpA/view?usp=sharing

If i change the resolution to 1680x1050 the screen will fill out correctly but the colors will be washed out. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16wQHBfAFCtFHCwBOavhuEh9nBx_zPhvmLg/view?usp=sharing

If I connect the steam machine directly to the TV the issue goes away. These screenshots show the same screens as before but connected directly to the TV https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wI8VPYKDhhlRAkkxJBUpj3-mPRZ0MSBYwg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OdbFmHpsus-kVMAp2-Uww308JSA2YXeALw/view?usp=sharing

Setting the resolution 1680x1050 while connected directly to the TV still washes out the colors https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IUIhnbBiNtOtA7hwE5R1fx7eNiOuPJW54Q/view?usp=sharing

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Connect steam machine to AV receiver

For reference, this av receiver does hdmi passthrough to get the audio, so the hdmi physical connection goes computer -> av receiver -> tv. Onkyo receivers can also expose quirks in the nvidia driver as it has to guess at some things if the receiver is off when the computer starts the X session.

In my case, when the linux box starts X and the Onkyo AV receiver is off, the nvidia driver has to guess which interlaced field comes first (1080i).

I'm having the same problem with my Onkyo TX-NR515. Never had the problem with ubuntu on the same computer / video card / av receiver.
