on my SAMSUNG TV, i had to choose FiT SCREEN,
on other TV's like LG, i think its SCAN or JUST SCAN....
what this does is it magically makes the HTPC image fit perfectly corner to corner
Just Scan for me.... scans exactly what your output is.... so basically a true 1080x1920 ..... i had the trouble when my image (menu) did not fit right..... I thought it was my HTPC... but no its the tv......
Still having issues with the scan rates and my Plasma. Getting a white line on the left side and top of the screen after a few minutes of viewing.
I think I need to have the resolution set to 1920x1280 (or maybe it's 1920x1080, can't recall) to be able to use the "Just Scan" option in my older Samsung plasma as it's otherwise blacked out with any other resolution. But when I switch to that resolution in Windows and in XBMC, the picture doesn't fill the whole screen. I.e., I'm about 1" or so from the top/bottom/sides even after selecting "Just Scan". Will have to keep fiddling with it. I have the same issue on occasion when watching HD on my cable box, but using Just Scan and repositioning the image a click or two fixes it. But for some reason I can't get it to work with the HTPC. Hmmm...

Ugh! I've been wondering what the hell was causing that! So nice that I can quickly undo it now when I do it!
Glad I'm not the only one!
