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
