Yes, by over scan I mean that the image is clipped, horizontally and 
vertically. The resolution I am running is 16x9 and my TV is technically 
4x3, but the TV has a 'compression' function that adds the black lines 
above and below, so the image is technically 'streched' but it is really 
not an issue...
