That's my experience with DVI->HDMI on the TV and a 1280x720 video
resolution.

But this bullet seems to contradict the previous bullet. Strange
documentation.

'Specially considering I am using 1280x720 and I don't get his supposed
"Native mode". Now, I will say that the amount of overscan is quite a
bit less than a CRT. So maybe this little bit of overscan that I do
have is what they consider "entire picture [being] within the borders of
the screen".
I should just phone them.
