As far as I know, unless the display is set for "dot by dot", there is /some/

overscan in all modes, on every flat-panel display ever made.

True, but, this is the only HDTV in the house that has this issue with 480 pixel widescreen material. In other words, this TV cuts more off the sides than any other HDTV in the house with this low-def widescreen material.


Insignia is (I believe) Best Buy's store brand. It does not have a

particularly good reputation for reliability.


That's what I'm afraid of....exchanging the Toshiba to get rid of the "sides cut off issue" and then getting stuck with something that isn't reliable.


Before swapping, find out /exactly/ what these displays are supposed to do,

and how they operate. Find an older (good luck!) salesperson to assist you.

I doubt any salesperson would be able to tell me what 480 pixel widescreen material will look like (i.e. whether the sides get cut off) on the Insignia.
