Yeah, it was in for repair.  It had power supply and color wheel 
problems.  I just went through the TV's menu and while I can adjust 
things like color, contrast, etc., I don't see anything about overscan 
or adjusting the image at all.  I can set the size to either 16:9 or 
4:3, but there isn't anything about adjusting the actual image.  Maybe I 
have to hook my DVI-> VGA cable back up and put the input to the PC 
input?  Or am I just in "deal with it" mode?

Thanks,
