The "picture" is good but the picture does not fit exactly to cover 
the hole TV screen. Actually it is a little bit smaller at the top and 
at the bottom. So it might not work properly. I will some other value 
for the option TVOverScan and see if it change someting.

Thanks

It should be filling up the screen completely plus a little more (to account for imperfect geometry in your TV)... it's only if it isn't, and you can't fix it no matter what you set the overscan to, that you should be worried about it.
