I've already been through them a zillion times, toggling everything
that's available.

What can I tell you?  The term "Native Mode" doesn't even exist in the
menus, anywhere, on any input.

I found an online manual for this TV here: http://support.toshiba.ca/support/ceg/manuals/

And on page 16 I found this:
Note:
• The edges of the images may be hidden.
• If receiving a 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signal program, Native
mode scales the video to display the entire picture within the
borders of the screen (i.e. no overscanning).

So this seems to only work on these resolutions and not on the TVs native resolution.
A bit misleading then I would say.
