If you put it at an angle you get the effect you describe. This can be fixed in the PJ (keystone correction) but it makes picture quality worse - it's better to move the PJ so it doesn't occur.
The lens correction helps with positioning if you can't get the PJ central (that doesn't affect PQ). Quote: |

If you can help with this too, would be good (have a nvidia Geforce go 5100 card and cloned the display) | You need to use powerstrip to change your PC mode to 1280x720, then switch overscan off in the PJ. That should give you a 1:1 mapping - PC output looks outstanding when it's setup.
If you have a VGA->VGA cable it'll give a better picture than svideo.
