I've got a bit of an issue with playing 25fps content, such as iPlayer 1280x720 downloads. My TV switches to 1080p/25hz mode fine but there's a thin green vertical line down the right-hand edge, which is rather distracting and might even be bad for my Plasma TV if I were to watch a lot of this sort of content.
Adjusting the calibration to extend out the bottom right corner doesn't shift it and although my TV has an Overscan setting which might push it out of sight, this is locked out when it switches to 25hz mode so I can't use that either. I'm pretty sure at the end of the day it's an issue with the content and I seem to recall I used to see the same thing on my previous TV with some live TV (might have been BBC) when the programme was 4:3, so in a frame. I think then I could hide it by stretching/zooming to 16:9 to push it off the edge and it was only because in 4:3 the "edge" was actually quite a bit inset from the actual edge of the TV that things like this became visible.
