After doing some searches there appears to be some confusion on this issue.
Just to explain I dislike overscan intensely.There are two things that are preventing me from buying a HD-DVD player like the HD-E1.
1.This industry cannot make up its bloody mind on which format it is going to choose.
2.Elimination of overscan using a HD Player.
I have a 37in Toshiba LCD HD Ready TV,(ie) it is not full 1080p.It does not allow any kind of picture manipulation that will get rid of overscan.
Now the suggestion seems to indicate that HDMI wll output to exact aspect ratio,whether SD or HD-DVD.1.78, 2.40,2.35,1.85,2.55,2.76 producing the optimum ratio with NO overscan.
Please tell me this the case.I can put up with overscan on ordinary satellite whether HD or SD,but not with DVD,HD-DVD or Blu-ray.
At present because I have an old Toshiba player that allows minimal shrink of the picture I can get rid of overscan on DVD.
But until I know that I can do this with HD-DVD etc,I won't committ to buying.
Will HDMI rid me of this curse?
