On the TV I do have some overscan issues, but the Grandtec XP has
horizontal and vertical size settings, and I think you can move the
image around as well, so it works great that way. I'm pretty sure the
2000 has the same thing, but the buttons are on the unit, and it's a bit
awkward to do, the XP Pro uses a remote.
