I am using an old TV as a monitor, and as is common with hdmi connections to these devices, I am having problems with overscan (the resolution options are reduced and the edges of the screen are cut off, making it impossible to correctly access the desktop and windows).

In Ubuntu there is a solution implemented that is wonderfully simple (Settings > Display > Adjust to TV).

However, in Kubuntu I simply could not find a solution, let alone a simple one...

Does anyone know of a simple method like Ubuntu's to solve overscan problems in Kubuntu?

You can use kscreen-doctor. It is shipped with KDE, so must be available on Kubuntu.

First get the display name. Following commands outputs all connected displays:

kscreen-doctor --outputs

Position the HDMI monitor on the right of the laptop panel while leaving eDP-1 on the left:

$ kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-2.position.0,1280 output.eDP-1.position.0,0

Here, eDP-1 will be on the left, HDMI-2 on the right starting at 1280.

Set resolution and refresh rate for a screen:

$ kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-2.mode.1920x1080@60
