always set the screen size (on the tv) to "screen fit" (that's what it's called on samsungs anyway) instead of 16:9 or something. you need to make sure your pixels coming out of xbmc are mapped 1 to 1 on your display and not zoomed in/transformed by the tv itself.
this can have HUGE impact on perceived PQ of full hd content (had this happen to myself too)
basically you should NOT have to set overscan compensation if you're using hdmi. if you are, something's not right in your setup, and it's most likely the screen size setting of your tv.

Spot on buddy, although Sony have a fun way of looking at it. I had to change the image preset from 'Video' to 'Photo'... those crazy Sony people really know how to have a giggle huh!? Huh

Huh

All beautiful now though.

Cheers
