    Hey gang,

    I'm having a bit of a problem with overscan on my Sony KDF-E42A10 HDTV. Whenever I plug my R2 into my HDTV at 1900x1080, there's pretty bad overscan. This only happens with my R2, as my PS3 shows correctly.

    This also happened with my old R1 (sent back for other reasons), but I fixed it by adjusting the display area for that specific input in the NVIDIA control panel. I tried adjusting the display in the Intel control panel, and successfully got it to a good size by changing the horizontal and vertical scaling in General Settings, but it caused random flashing and the bottom of the image would flash and flicker when I would play a game.

    Does anyone know of a solution to this? My TV doesn't seem to have any settings to adjust overscan, and I would really love to play some TF2 at 1080p.
