There has been some discussion in other threads about TVs that automatically choose overscan/1:1 or rgb-full/rgb-limited depending on the input signal, maybe this related to your problem?

Hopefully that's it.

I tried the 'Screen Setup Wizard', which resized the screen but left it hugging the top left corner so things were overscanned with a ton of blank space on the bottom and right.

There is a thread about that most weeks on here, I refuse to watch HDTV with overscan so I always ignore those threads.
