What video card do you have? I'm assuming you have the resolution set to 1280x720? My video card is the geforce mx 440 (onboard GPU built into the Chaintech 7NIF2 motherboard). For this card, 1280x720 doesn't seem to be a "built in" mode, so I'm *forced* to use the Modeline... unless I'm missing something. I'm using the same Modeline you posted in your original post right now, with no overscan and just a slight black border. It's *almost* perfect, but I agree with you, a hint of overscan would be preferable (if for no other reason than I paid a lot for this TV and I don't want to lose a single inch of viewable area!).
