When I press page up while in manual zoom mode, it will zoom in a
certain percentage. I don't know exactly what that percentage is, but
this works out well.

Cool, that's kind of what I figured... So, if my screen resolution is
1900 x 1080, I'd want to set overscan at something higher than 1900 x
1080 where these numbers have an identical, 16:9 ratio?
