I've seen many comments buried in threads about overscan and how it can mess up video processing and PQ... but no explanation of the best way to deal with overscan.
I hope some experienced users, and maybe some experts, will chime in.
I'd like this thread to be an FAQ of sorts on the getting the BEST possible PQ when dealing with overscan for an HTPC... Basically, how do you get the closes possible 1:1 pixel ratio and minimize other problems.
Maybe we can get some specific comments on different hardware and software setups...
ATI/AMD with Catalyst settings (5450, 6450, etc)
NVidia with driver settings (430, 520, etc)
Intel HD2000/3000
XBMC
Windows Media Center
MythTV
J River Media Center
Total Media Theater
...etc
I use...
ATI/AMD HD6450 w/ CCC drivers 11.8
Mits 65" DLP
XBMC
Windows Media Center 7
... I have been adjusting the scaling in CCC but I don't know much about all the possibilities.
Example: XBMC also has 'video calibration' which looks to scale the display but I don't know how that compares to the one in CCC.
thx!
