projector being 1280x720 you would think that with a digital connection it
would fully utilizes it.

I understand that this would work within MythTV itself, but what about

As you said when watching TV, overscan isn't much of a problem, I only
notices it when going into mythtv configuration screen.



would be even on the sides.  Do the same with the Height, e.g; 690

Will do when I get back home.
