My Sony is almost spot on, but my Sammy is a little off center, very close though. There was a thread here a while back and the general consensus was that D* does not broadcast an over scan picture.
Your screen has the same readings as mine.The four circles in each corner are cut off.Is this normal?machavez00 said:My HL-R4667W 46" Sammy, and yes I can read all the lines.

That is the "normal" 3-5% overscan.pfueri said:Your screen has the same readings as mine.The four circles in each corner are cut off.Is this normal?
I can't find a overscan adjustment on my samsung 42 plasma. but on my sony it is set to 0 and it still cuts the circles off just like the screen shot is.Lee L said:WHen I set my Panansonic Plasma to zero overscan, I can see the very edge of each circle as well as all teh lines on teh side. For many Plasma and lcd sets, you can do this also (and you probably should as mine definitely looks clearer when overscan is set to 0 as it is not scaling). However, many RPTV sets will not go below 5% without tweaking.
Most overscan adjustemnts are in the service menu, and not the user menu.pfueri said:I can't find a overscan adjustment on my samsung 42 plasma. but on my sony it is set to 0 and it still cuts the circles off just like the screen shot is.
By "above" you're not meaning the link in my post [since it is zero overscan].MIMOTech said:My HLT-6187S DLP is set to just Scan and centered with this pattern. This gives me just a little bit more Overscan then HDnet and much less then the pictures shown above. I can see the edges of the circle.
How did he get to the service menu I have a sony sxrd 60xbr2 .we might have close to the same software.veryoldschool said:Most overscan adjustemnts are in the service menu, and not the user menu.
With my Sony Bravia XBR2 [LCD] zero over scan is in the user's menu and does give me zero.
Sometime back when this first came up, it was new and I had problems with the test pattern. Sony Tech came out and went into the service menu. Though he claimed he didn't do anything [which looked like he didn't as I watched], when he came back out of it, I had zero over scan.
Here is what the test pattern is on my Sony: http://www.dbstalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8381&d=1180552338
You said that this was normal.The above screen shots.But you posted a screen shot of yours and it showed the entire test screen.So what is normal ?What do I have to do to get zero over scan and why is the over scan the same on my sony and samsung>veryoldschool said:That is the "normal" 3-5% overscan.
With zero overscan, you'll see the closed captioning data "noise" at the top of the screen.
On my Samsung LCD, it's selected via the display mode.... "16:9" mode = overscan, and "Just Scan" mode = 16:9 with no overscan.pfueri said:I can't find a overscan adjustment on my samsung 42 plasma. but on my sony it is set to 0 and it still cuts the circles off just like the screen shot is.
I shouldn't do this, because somebody will screw up their TV by mistake.pfueri said:How did he get to the service menu I have a sony sxrd 60xbr2 .we might have close to the same software.
Normal is slightly less than the zero overscan that I posted.pfueri said:You said that this was normal.The above screen shots.But you posted a screen shot of yours and it showed the entire test screen.So what is normal ?What do I have to do to get zero over scan and why is the over scan the same on my sony and samsung>
Every TV made is different in their overscan and 3-5% is what most typcially aim for. 0 overscan is actually not normal and as mentioned can introduce noise on the sides. A little overscan is good.pfueri said:You said that this was normal.The above screen shots.But you posted a screen shot of yours and it showed the entire test screen.So what is normal ?What do I have to do to get zero over scan and why is the over scan the same on my sony and samsung>
