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
