Comment on Intel Mac mini, Panasonic plasma, Overscan solution by Buck

Steve’s trick worked great! The path to this setting on a Sony Bravia is:
Menu -> Settings -> Screen -> Display Area: Full Pixel

Set your Sys prefs to Overscan and you’re good to go!

Comment on Bicycles and stop signs by Jimmy C.

Ok well twice as long as 2 seconds is only 4 seconds! So your not really wasting any time. Stop trying to justify your law breaking. You know you are supposed to stop at stop signs yet you obviously to run right through them. Im not saying i hope you get hit by a car, but if it happens at a stop sign well you know what the cause was… your ignorance.

Wow, this page is still really useful five years later. I used switchresx on my mac mini running Lion and these settings to get my 42″ Panasonic plasma tv resolution to the right size.

DisplayConfigX no longer works under lion because it is PowerPC code.

Thank you!

Spot on with this post. Lion is, in fact, to be downloaded through the App Store.

the last comment by matt helped me out as well — my panasonic didn’t have that exact same menu item, but elsewhere I found similar controls and fixed my overscan problem on a new Mac mini. used to work perfectly so I’m not sure why it became necessary for me to resolve, but glad I found this article and the commenter’s note. thanks, interwebs!

Isn’t Mac OS X Lion’s developer beta a download, that pretty much works the way you described it?

I own a Panasonic Viera 50 inch plasma P50G10A and have the same resolution / overscan issue and found a very simple fix!!

With overscan being used I couldn’t see the menu bar, without it, I had a significant black space around all edges. Rather than using Display Config X, I simply set my resolution to 1344 x 756 or 1600 x 900 and then turned overscan ON.

Then, go to your TV menu settings, select “Setup”, then “Other Settings”. In this menu there is an option called “Picture Overscan”. Select “off” and you get a PERFECT PICTURE.

Yeah, Linux has been downloadable for so long.. it’s a bit crazy that commercial desktop operating systems haven’t started doing it yet. It is more complicated to do from an end-user perspective, but it’s not too bad and I think a company like Apple could make it pretty easy if they cared enough.

Linux is a downloadable operating system

Comment on Quick Review of MP3tunes.com by DL

Found this on a search for reviews of MP3Tunes.com. I’m posting this comment for others looking for a review. it’s 2010 and I’ve been a subscriber for 6 months and I’m really frustrated. The service is slow, sometimes never loads, the player/browser UI is pretty bad. As the reviewer above states, none of the features I hoped for work the way they should.
