I have a 32" Samsung LCD (Model LN32C350D1DXZA) in my bedroom. It's a '720p' set with a native resolution of 1366x768 (or 1360? I dunno...)<br><br>Anyways, on one HDMI port, it will only accept HD resolutions, and overscans them. [Blah]<br>
<br>On the other HDMI port, it accepts the native resolution of 1366x768 and does NOT overscan. So I have my MythTV frontend connected to that HDMI port and a resolution of 1366x768. <br><br>There is no setting on my TV to override the Overscan 'feature'...<br>

</div>Yes, correct, it was only an issue back in the days of CRTs.<br>
Personally, I'm still unable to grasp how on earth anyone thought it<br>
was a good idea to create standards where the default is for the HD<br>
source to create a pixel-perfect image, only for the display to throw<br>
1/3 of it away and upsample what's left to fit the screen :-/<br>
Surely the default should be for the source to create a pixel-perfect<br>
image (eg 1366x768 or 1920x1080) and for the screen to display that<br>
without any further resampling. OK, overscan of an analogue input,<br>
but not for anything digital.<br>
<br>
<br>
I've come across TVs (Sanyo was one) which neither supported native<br>
resolution on the VGA socket, nor had an option to not-overscan on<br>
digital.<br>
