    Hold down the ctrl key and move the mouse wheel forward to increase text size.
    Resize the window by dragging all 4 edges of the browser window to the edge of the computer display.

    Ctrl++ and Ctrl-- is the method I use, works on all browsers I've tried in recent years, also works for PDF readers too.

    The description of the off-centre screen reads like you need to setup the TV/monitor, there should be buttons on it to enter the setup and adjust it to your graphics output.

    From your description is seems the problem is your aspect ratio. Is there any way to change your LCD TV's aspect ratio to 4:3? It is probably set to 16:9 if you have a wide screen LCD TV.

    If you cannot change the aspect ratio of the TV then try changing the resolution of your graphics adapter of your computer. For a High Definition Wide Screen TV you can set your computer to 1280X720. If your graphics adapter can not handle this resolution then try setting it to 853x480.
