Rubin,
actually I had a lot of trouble setting it up as well: due to the overscan on the Toshiba, part of the screen was cutoff when outputting 1920x1080. Is this what you mean? The Nvidia tool in their driver to apply underscan actually changes the output video timings, and then since it is non-standard the Toshiba refuses to sync. Basically I have it set to 1920x1080 and adjusted with 'image adjust' in BTV the full screen settings. I always have BTV running on this server so it doesn't really matter the PC desktop is cut off. However I do lose some of the video picture borders still (the Nvidia driver only allows you to zoom-in, not zoom-out on video overlay).
Hope this helps.

Cool setup.

I have the same Toshiba that you have in your living room. I'm having a terrible time getting good picture quality from my HTPC - using component and an NVIDIA card.

How do you have it set up? Any advice?
