i don't know if this is related to xbmc (or xbmp) but i have some underscan occuring while playing games. i have black bars to the left and right of the screen.
i recently had a friends xbox over to sort out, and during testing i noticed that his xbox did not produce the same effect, so it's not the tv (which was my initial thought).
the only time i have adjusted overscan was first in xbmp, then in xbmc when xbmp stopped being developed. would this have affected anything in the screen output for other applications? i would have thought that any changes that were made would only occur during the lifetime of an application, and the original settings be restored upon closing, but i could be wrong.
any help is appreciated. it's starting to bug me now i know that it doesn't have to be that way. it wasn;t when i first got the xbox, but i just figured it was a combination of the games i was playing and the tv, which isn't the case.
