[QUOTE="gperkinson, post: 419956, member: 83961"] Hi, Thanks for the reply. Had a good play with my current settings - amasing what you find out when you can get some piece and quiet at home!! OK, I understand much more now about what you are saying. First of all, I now seem to be able to get a clear picture on 0 overscan (Not sure why I couldn't previously??) The cutting off at the top and bottom was because I had the Media Centre set to 14:9 - I had this so I would get a full picture always on the screen no matter what was being broadcast - does that sound right?? I guess this brings me to your point about how the picture is being broadcast i.e. 576p, 720p, 1080i etc. If I set the Media Centre to "Normal" the picture size changes depending on what is on TV. I guess if I had a 1080 HD broadcast, it would fill the screen - correct? On the basis of the above, I guess there is no point upgrading, however I was wondering if it might help with blurring, especially with the interlaced channels (TV3 and C4)?? Also, I guess as you say the overscan to 0 is like a hack, because with the default settings my screen is not filled.
