I have a samsung plasma display. I am guessing the menu options are
slightly different but I go into Picture Settings and then select
size. The options given are 16:9 4:3 or "just scan".

If I select "just scan" it gives me the whole display with no
overscanning. Attaching via the svga connector on the back rather than
via hdmi always gives the whole image.
