Have had the TV for just over 3 months and just noticed that the any text
displayed at the bottom of the picture is just off the screen. For example
watching the cricket the score was half off the bottom, in fact the score
banner seemed to be moving as though some sort of adjustment was trying to
fit it on the screen.

FYI: The TV in question is a JVC AV-28R4SK and the picture mode is 'Full',
ie no zoom or anything. Putting it in 16:9 or 14:9 pushes the top and
bottom
of the picture right off the screen.

Is this just the way it is or is something wrong. there doesn't appear to
be
anything that can adjust this behaviour.

Mfrs often set for slight overscan, as being preferable to
complaints that the picture doesn't fill the screen, or that
there is a black line top and bottom, or on both sides.
There is probably a service menu accessable from the
handset, but as it's 3 mth old I wouldn't bugger with it.
Depends on your maintenance and warranty arrangements,
but it's very easy to screw it up completely once you
get into maintenance mode.

In maintenance mode you need a steady pattern and
an understanding of trapezium, pincushion, and
a few other terms. Knacker it for Christmas and the
Ball and Chain won't do lunch for you.
