haven't even gotten that far: the gui is unusable, even if i were to start live 
or recording playback...

i'm using cea:

osmc at rpi-osmc:~$ /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m CEA
Group CEA has 9 modes:
            mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
            mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
            mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
            mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
            mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
            mode 6: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
            mode 7: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
   (native) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
            mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

so 1/16...the same problem exists on osmc, but it has a nice overscan gui: 
upper-left/lower-right corners can be grabbed & dragged back onscreen
