Grant,
By default most TVs overscan inputs due to broadcast signals at the
edges as the picture there is not well defined and can have white
overscan lines and such. The TV compensates by overscanning which
basically zooms in on the picture making (on my 46" Samsung TV) the
outer 1-1.5" of the picture disappear.
On my TV it was fairly simple to turn this off, I just had to label the
HDMI input as "DVI PC" and it automatically turned off any picture
processing/overscanning. Yours may be similar.
Sorry if there's typos, I have a bandaged finger and it's a PITA to type
with. I think I fixed all of them.
Dan
