Hi all -

I'm trying to get my PB hooked up to my HDTV (LC-26D6U Aquos) and I'm having a couple of issues.

My main question is - when you have the 'overscan' box checked in display properties in OS X is that the 'natural state'? i.e. does OS X scale up with the box checked, or does it scale down when the box is unchecked? In which state is the image unscaled?

My TV is 1366x768, but when I hook up my powerbook to the HDMI port I get overscan even when I'm only outputting 1280x720. It seems strange that a tv would overscan a digital signal, but that seems to be the case. I can't find anyway to disable the stretch.



Thanks for any help you can give!
