What about this TV?
greaser:
I have this same exact model in my cab and don't have any issues with the image being cut off. In fact there is a very small margin on all 4 sides of the image.
I'm running it through my comp (s-video out from a radeon 9550) at 640x480 and I'm quite pleased with the picture quality. Hard to tell from your pics. It's better to compare in person.
Well let me know if you want any help. I can send you all the settings i have to achieve the picture quality on my cab.

Hey Ace. Sorry man I can't see your pics on imageshack until I get home. I think my work firewall must be blocking it or something. You are saying some of your image is being cut off on the side. I get a little thing called overscan on the sides and top and bottom. Mine is not bad at all though. In Mame you can notice it near the top and a tad on the sides. Everything is somewhat centered though so no big deal here.
On windows I use a gigabyte ATI Radeon x1300Pro I think it is the name. I use the latest version of ATI Catalyst Control Center. I have it plugged in via S-Video and I have my desktop set to 640x480 through ATI's tool. Things like font and shortcuts look a little blurry, but it is to be expected on S-Video.
I can't see the pics but I hope it isn't cutting too much off on you....
Wait wait wait....Are you using a laptop to display this stuff for MAME??? If you are I may be able to help you. I had my laptop hooked up a while back to the tv and it has NvIdia graphics chip. I set the TV (secondary monitor to fill the whole screen or something like that in my Nvidia settings and man it fit more centered than my current setup with minimal overscan loss.
What kind of graphics chip is in your laptop if you are using a laptop cause I would look for a TV settings section under the advanced properties of the windows display properties if that makes sense.
But to tell you the truth either the ATI program or the Nvidia program would have this setting Windows doesn't really have a good setting for this.
See right now in my current setup I have a normal desktop computer with svideo output to the TV. It does seem like laptops center everything better though so hopefully your laptop is ATI or Nvidia.
PS Sorry for the long post.

You may want to make sure EVERYTHING is running in 640x480 (desktop, mame, frontend) and that you're using the same color depth (16 bit, 32 bit, etc).

hey greaser does your tv look good automatically. Or did you adjust overscan in the TV's service menu. Mine I just left alone and let MAME do auto resolutions. My Desktop is 640x480 on windows I can't see the righthand scroll bar if I maximize windows. But it is not necesseary since I know what to do. Games for me have a lil overscan on sides and top, but as long as I can still read score I am good to go.

I would like all my MAME stuff to run in 640x480, but I am not sure how to do this. I know I can change the mame.ini file but in version .110 there are tons of listings for resolutions. When I changed it before through the normal RUN command line thing with a -r 640x480 after the command it all looked the same either way. But my frontend MAMEWWAH and desktop are 640x480.
