When I am watching LiveTV in fullscreen, I am sometimes seeing vertical white lines on both sides of the picture. They are only a few pixels wide but still very noticable and annoying. I recognized the following:
1. If the aspect ration of the picture is 16:9 and the overscan settings are set correctly (that means the callibration arrows are slightly outside the visible screen), the vertical white lines are not visible in LiveTV.
2. If the aspect ration of the picture is 16:9 and the overscan settings are set not correctly (that means the callibration arrows are slightly inside the visible screen), the vertical white lines are visible in LiveTV
3. If the aspect ration of the picture is 4:3, the vertical white lines are always visible, independent of the overscan settings in the screen calibration menu and also independent of the crop settings (I use 16 pixels for each side)!
So for me it looks like that the overscan feature does not work for 4:3 content. Would it be possible to change that? Or do I have to set someting different?
