That worked like a charm!!!  Now I can see my beloved taskbar.  I ended
up tweaking that slider to 100 and it seems to fit correctly.
Interesting it works out to be a nice round number.  Makes me think that
something else is going wrong somewhere.

I wondered the same thing.  The only settings I can seem to access from
the TV menu say "scale mode" which can be set to a number of settings
but even on the "full" setting it was cutting off the edges.  Note also
that when I connected my laptop up it didn't cut anything off.  Oh well
its fixed as noted above for the moment.

Cheers guys.
