Input label isn't what you want, that only changes how it's labelled when you change
inputs. Changing this will, as you say, make no difference!

Is there a setting referring to "HD Size"? If so, set it to size 2, which should be no
overscan.

A quick Google shows various reviews that say you should be able to set the TV for zero
overscan, whether that is through "HD Size", "direct pixel", "1:1", "overscan" or some
other name is for you to find out! Have a look through the settings pages or the manual!
I'm sure my Panny is called "Overscan" in the menu.

You shouldn't need to tell the nvidia that it's 16:9, as edid should take care of that
and sent 1080p 16:9 automatically. In my other email, I referred to setting to 16:9
rather than auto, but that is a TV setting I am on about, not on the computer. May be
listed under Aspoect or similar, and will probably have modes such as Auto, 16:9, 14:9,
4:3, plus some zoom ones.
