Pete, I had a similar problem problem my HTPC and TV. The TV doesn't correctly report the 1080p resolution in the EDID data. I used DTD Calculator in a Windows VM on another machine to generate the overscan data. I blogged a complete solution. I hope this helps. http://www.tolaris.com/2009/04/14/enabling-1080p-video-on-the-shuttle-x27d- htpc/ Regards, Tyler -- "The belief in immortality has always seemed cowardly to me.
