</div>I made them get the manual out of the box for my LG tv to make sure<br>
you could turn off overscan, which meant they had to put a cd in a<br>
computer in the shop and open a pdf file (whats with the lack of trees<br>
in the box these days?)<br>
<br>
I also, to confirm my findings, googled from my android and found<br>
there were mostly good reports in the interweb about LG having the<br>
ability to turn off overscan.<br>
<br>
Saved going miles home to research on the net and then coming back to buy.<br>
