        These DLPs are designed to overscan (too difficult/expensive to
get rid of the distortion at the edges).  However, they do have a
setting to reduce the overscan in the TV's service menu.  There are some
links here:

Unfortunately, the reports there seem to indicate that this model has
problems with overscan reduction.
