You might find it helpful to blow it up with some image viewer like paint or whatever to see exactly what the lines look like so you 
know what you are looking at.

If there are five black lines in the middle that are all equal in width (and gap width) then its probably showing 1080.  All the 
lines and line spacing's should be seen and be exactly the same widths.  Why it overscans HD is curious, probably for historical CRT 
reasons, but is there any benefit in this case, none that I can see.  (Apart from shaving a couple of pixels off the edge might 
occasionally be helpful)
