That was one of my worries before powering it up. Must have been lucky with the TV ;) It does overscan slightly but only a few mm's around the edges so it doesn't cut off any graphics like energy bars in fighters.

Anyone know if there's a registry setting that could be tweaked to enable software resizing when monitor is selected or any other work around? Not that this one needs it but if I do this again with a different TV and have to adjust it'd be handy to know. Would powerstrip be able to do it? I've never used it.
