On my Sony a7 III, image playback is showing lots of information, including a histogram, so the photo appears small on the screen. I can zoom in with AF-ON and back out with AEL, but I want normal playback to show the image larger with little or no overlay. How do I change the playback display mode?

Check out the 'Help Guide' here. It states

Press the DISP (Display Setting) button.

To switch the information displayed on the viewfinder, press the DISP button while looking into the viewfinder. Each time you press the DISP button, the screen display changes.

and pressing the DISP button cycles the display through the following screens

During playback (Monitor/Viewfinder)

Display Info. → Histogram → No Disp. Info. → Display Info.

If the image has an overexposed or underexposed area, the corresponding section will blink on the histogram display (overexposed/underexposed warning). The settings for playback are also applied in [Auto Review].

Press the DISP button while viewing the photo in playback. On the Sony a7 III, DISP cycles the playback screen through the available display modes, including info display, histogram, and no display info/image-only. Keep pressing it until you get the cleaner image-only view you want.

On the a7 III, DISP is the upper direction on the rear control wheel/four-way controller. This also affects Auto Review playback behavior.

If the image is zoomed in, zoom back out first, then use DISP to change the display mode.
