Several other brands also have some odd, trademarked, phrase for the "disable overscan" feature, so keep an eye out for display modes with odd names invented by a marketting person who never quite understood what that mode actually does. If you ask about your model in some of the home-theater forums, somebody usually knows. But, you've got to wade through those awful web-UI based "forums"... -- Grant
