First of all, I would like to thank anyone spending their time and attempting
to help me. It is much appreciated as I have done much searching on here and
reading and have come to no resolution.

I have a Samsung 40 inch LCD, model LN-S4041D. It says in the manuel that
the optimum resolution is 1360x768. I have a GeForce 6600 cord in my Sony
Vaio Home Media Desktop. I used the program PowerStrip to get that resolution
and still the edges are cut off/the desktop is too big. The media center is
the same way. On the regular settings, I can't even really change the
resolution and that is why I got PowerStrip (read about it here). I have
absolutely no idea what I am doing wrong or what to do next. Thanks again for
any help.

My Sanyo LCD 26 inch HDTV over scans. When I look at the LCD and compare it to my Computer monitor, the LCD is over scanned.

The left side where I have the icons, are barely visible on the LCD. Top and bottom are also over scanned.

There is nothing you can do about what the TV Manufacturer did to the LCD TV.

Although I no longer use my MCE, I know I was able to get 1360x768 with no overscan. However, IIRC (it's been a while!) I did it by connecting the computer to the VGA inputs on the TV. I never succeeded with HDMI or other inputs (or else I *don't* recall correctly).

However, the picture seemed a bit flatter in the VGA mode. I did get used to it.
