GUI Video size rendered too large
#1
Ive just set up RPi with raspbmc and it seems to be working fine except that the Video is rendered too large for the display.
Its a large Samsung set connected with HDMI and operating at its native 1920x1080p.
GUI labels such as "Settings" (top left) and the clock time (top right) are chopped off (only about the bottom 30% of this text is visible).

I've tried tweaking the video settings but nothing corrects this.
I can't yet tell, but does this same error affect video content? (If not I could probably learn to ignore it if it only affects the GUI and not videos)

Thanks

You want to diable overscan on the TV (it may be called "just scan", "screen fit", "HD size", "full pixel", "unscaled", "dot by dot", "native" or "1:1"),

Thanks so much!
The "Size" item in the picture menu has the options "16:9", "4:3", "Zoom1", "Zoom2", and "Just Scan"
It was on "16:9" but changing it to "Just Scan" fixes the issue and seems fine with other sources, so I'm good.
Thanks again.
