Sometimes different HDMI inputs have different options. Sometimes even renaming to PC can change the options available. Try another HDMI input.

You will often only get the Just Scan (or 1:1 or Full Pixel) options if your PC output resolution matches the native resolution of your TV's panel. And as others have posted, in some cases you also have to relabel your inputs to "PC" or similar (as some manufacturers have decided to overscan "video" inputs but not overscan "PC" inputs)
In most cases this means that your PC has to be running at 1920x1080 resolution, if you are running at another resolution the TV won't offer the option.
If you are running in clone mode, the HDMI output is likely to be similar to that of your laptop's LCD resoltuion (often 1366x768). To get round this you need to reconfigure your laptops display settings, probably by making the HDMI output your primary display, and disabling clone mode and configuring it for 1920x1080 resolution ?
You can get round overscan in other ways - but these all entail rescaling video in your laptop (either through XBMC calibration or overscan compensation in your video drivers) and are best avoided if you can work in 1:1 / Just Scan / Full Pixel etc. where you reduce the number of scaling operations going on.

As I said on page one. Plug it in and close the laptop shut. This will force full resolution to one screen rather than mirroring causing this problem.
Then go into video settings and calibrate the screens edges to your TV screen.
