[QUOTE="gyring_eddy, post: 803729, member: 63706"] I second redmist's point. This is something that has bugged me from the very beginning. I have overscan correction applied in my nvidia control panel which ensures my windows desktop fits onto my TV with no cropping. MP's UI calibration setting allows me to ensure the same for the MP interface. All well and good. The problem then is that the TV picture has [B]too little[/B] overscan - I'd prefer to loose about 3% off the edges, just as I would get if I didn't apply any overscan correction. Currently the only option I have is to use the crop feature to 'simulate' overscan, but as redmist points out, it works in pixels, therefore: a) it can't compensate for different aspect ratios resulting in distortion, and b) it crops a different proportion of the picture depending on whether it's SD or HD.
