I have the sharp aquos lc-37d40u and want to know if there is a way to correct the overscan issues. I don't really care when it comes to watching cable or a dvd, but it bothers me when playing xbox 360. So, is there a way?

anybody?

The problem is the display has a native resolution of 1366x768 and each of your sources output a "Tv-safe" resolution. The display has to take that standard and re-size it to fit into it's native pixels. This routine is probably hard-coded into the scaler. Someone may correct me, but I don't believe fixed pixel displays have any way to adjust what you are calling overscan. Basically you have to feed it exactly the native resolution, or else the scaler takes over.

that sucks... thanks for the info though

I know this thread is a bit old, but this may be relevant...

I've got a 52" 1080p Aquos and mine will overscan by about 5% if you set it to "Stretch" instead of "Dot-to-dot", even if you're feeding a 1080p signal.
