# overscanCompensation

For an external screen, this property sets the desired technique to compensate for overscan.

## Declaration

```swift
var overscanCompensation: UIScreen.OverscanCompensation { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Some external displays may be unable to reliably display all of the pixels to the user. To compensate, choose one of the techniques described in the  UIScreen.OverscanCompensation enumeration.
