I'm wondering now how much overscan is normal. I switched to an unused
resolution and shrunk it down till I fitted the entire video signal on
screen, the viewable part + overscan. I then stuck my trusty ruler on the
screen and found the viewable picture was 29 cm wide, with 1 cm of overscan
at top, 1.5 cm on right, and 1/4 cm at bottom. But on the left there was 3
cm of overscan. So a total of 4.5 cm overscan for 29 cm picture, or 15%.
Maybe I'll experiment with PowerStrip to see if I can reduce the amount
of overscan on the left side.
