I have my VP30 outputting to my 50" Plasma (1366 x 768) at 1 to 1 pixel mapping. Looks great, no complaints. But for some reason CBS HD always comes through with a half inch black space at the top of the screen. NBC,FOX, ABC do not do this, so I'm assuming it is the fault of the CBS feed. I don't know if CBS sends the picture that way, but not only is it annoying its a bit hazardous to my display. I think I noticed some image retention that matched that black space about a week ago. Ever since then I have not watched any of my DVRed CBS shows. Well yesterday, I decided to try to get rid of black bar. It took +24 overscan to get rid of it. I tried adjusting the picture with vertical position, but that just makes a "snowy" line at the bottom that will not fill when you adjust overscan (I figure I'd move the picture up a bit so I'd have less overscan, since overscan expands the picture out at all sides).
So my questions are:
How much does overscan affect the picture quality? If it does at all.
Is there any other tricks/adjustments to accomplish what I need that would be better?
I know i could set up different user inputs schemes and save them, but that would severely confuse the girlfriend when she wants to watch something. And is a bit of a PITA.
Obviously not damaging the display is more important then a bit of picture quality, but I'm hoping I can have both.
