Moten – You rock! My new Sony 46 inch LCD is now perfect. I will tell anyone reading this, that this is a Sony only setting. The mini I have on my Sharp is still jacked up. Off to play w/Display ConfigX for that one.

Hi Moten what is the effect changing the display to full pixel on the television reception, and other (non-computer) inputs?

Hi If you have a Sony tv., Like mine 40W4500 star up your mac mini, and in the TV menu under settings find screen settings, there you will find display size, set this to full pixel.
and on your mac leave overscan on.
this fixed it for me atleast., without the use of any external programs.,.

FIX: Panasonic PX50 X10 Y

…Hi

I’ve had a lot of problems fixing this overscan issue.
Turn out that after spending hours with DisplayConfigX, I found a setting in my Panasonic PX50 X10 Y to disable overscan.
Now it works like a charm in both 720p & 1080.

Might be worthwhile checking this out…

This support article fixed my issue.

Open System Preferences on the Mac.
Select the Displays pane.
Click the Options tab.
Deselect the Overscan checkbox.
