   1. This depends on your video card or whatever you use to display on
      HDTV. There might be an option to shrink the visible area.

   2. This issue is also common with plain analog TV displays, the solution
      being to not display text in the area that might get swallowed by
      overscan. (Really, that's what people do.) Different TV sets have
      different overscan areas.
