Some TVs don't provide a remedy. Others do, but it may be something
pretty obscure. One of my LG TVs allows you to assign a "label" to
each input. The labels are selected from a pre-defined list. If you
select the "PC" label, it disables overscan. IIRC, this wasn't
documented anywhere (I stumbled across the info in a home-theater
forum). On my other LG, that doesn't work (there appears to be no way
to eliminate overscan).
