All RPTVs have a certain amount of overscan (just like CRTs do) it's part of the setup of the optics and you can't adjust it or turn it off. There some TVs which have a setting for adjusting it but it is an image zoom type compensation it doesn't adjust the optics obviously and the Sony doesn't have even this feature anyway.

To get your whole desktop to display without the edge being cropped you will need to look for a setting in your PC video drivers. Different makes call it different things but Nvidia used to call it "Overscan compensation".

Essentially you set the PC resolution to the TV's native then use the overscan compensation to shrink the desktop within this (putting a black border round the edges essentially so the actual screen resolution stays the same but the resolution actually being used for the desktop is smaller) so the black border gets overscanned and you see the whole desktop.

Hope that helps.

It now appears to be under Display-Adjust Desktop Size and Position in the Nvidia control panel.

Set the output to the screens native then go there and click resize desktop then use the on screen sliders to fit your desktop to the screen.
