<br><br>> Mike<br></blockquote></div><br>Yes it is unreasonable to expect a TELEVISION to act like a MONITOR. All TV's have overscan. That is not a design flaw. There is no deception by the manufacturer (LG). If they didn't design the TV with overscan there would be a ton of "normal consumers" complaining when they got their new TV home.
<br><br>If you wanted a monitor you should have bought a monitor. I have a 47 inch Westinghouse LCD monitor. It displays all HD inputs (HDMI, DVI, VGA, component) with no overscan. But of coarse I knew that before I bought it.
