Check through the menu of the tv and see if you can get it to auto
scan to the signal. On my Samsung panel I can choose between 4:3, 16:9
and "just scan". The default is 16:9 and on this, there is some
overscan. If I change the setting to "just scan" I get the whole
image. Interestingly, if I attach my frontend to the TV via VGA cable
rather than HDMI, then "just scan" is the default but unfortunately,
connecting this way seems to lock me in to 60Hz where I prefer 50Hz to
match the PAL signal. Attaching via HDMI lets me choose.
