Hello,

thanks

TVs act differently than monitors; they have built in overscan. You will need to manually adjust the screen size in your video properties.

+1 ^. What I was about to say. Use the TV settings to adjust the screen

You may need to do it on the Mac. I know I had to do it on my Windows PC; the ATI video driver allowed me to adjust the screen size on my 42" plasma TV.
