I ended up just cross posting this from installation and configuration support because it looks like no one ever visits the installation forum!
I have my desktop resolution at 1280x720p60 but set to a custom resolution within that (using catalyst) of 1244x700 which eliminates most but not all Overscan. To eliminate the rest of the overscan I had to shrink my UI in mediaportal, and also I adjusted for overscan in the screen calibration section - in all 4 corners I had to reduce the size moving the big arrows inward towards the center. Moreso on the rightside than the leftside. Then, at the end when it asks you to make the box a square, it's hard for me to tell if the box is already perfectly square or not so I left it at 1.0.
Anyway, on all 4 of the arrow change options it specifically states that quality will be reduced if you're trying to shrink the screen (which is what I'm doing, I guess). I can't really tell much of a difference when playing a video, but does anyone know how this will impact my picture quality or what I should set the screen calibration to for the best effects?
