Overscan

So, I'm planning to buy an Xbox One (bro already has a PS4, but I want a next gen console for myself and getting the same system twice would be a little dumb, obviously). I recently got my parents' old Plasma (Philips 42PFP5332/10 if that matters),
and considering how old that thing is (07/08-ish), the picture quality is generally excellent. There's one problem though, which you can probably guess from the title: It has overscan issues.

This isn't a problem on 360 and Wii U. Despite being able to output 1080p, my TV's native res is 1280x768, which the 360 supports (among other PC-like resolutions). On Wii U, Nintendo issued a patch to adjust the screen size. PS3 and PS4 though have neither
of these options (there is a display area setting on PS4, but that only moves certain elements of the picture; the overall image still appears zoomed in and cropped. Also, the settings aren't applied in-game) and it annoys the *** outta me.

I'm pretty sure that this is also true for the Xbox One. This probably won't keep me from buying one (ha), since I need something to play all the multiplats on (MGSV, Arkham Knight, Evil Within, etc.), but it's still a huge issue that could be solved
ridiculously easily if Microsoft just CARED.

Now, two things:

1. Is there anything I can do? Is there some sort of device or cable that can solve this issue? (and no, my TV doesn't have a 1:1 pixel or "Just Scan" mode)

2. Would anyone here be willing to go on Twitter or something and politely request a solution to this problem? To make them issue a patch that adds either PC resolutions and/or a screen size adjustment option? Nintendo listened, and
if enough people raise their voice, I'm sure Microsoft will, too.



(btw, I just posted this on gamefaqs, and it didn't take ten minutes for my thread to just drown beneath all the garbage, so... meh)

Aspect Ratio Calbration: Green lines aren't visible on my TV

Most tv's overscan, some dont. I have no idea why some tv's still overscan the image in the era of hd, ive been lucky to get one that doesnt.

 

Screen Stretching Issues following recent update in April

Hey there, this sounds like an overscan issue. The console itself is not capable of adjusting this. Overscan will be dependent on the TV in use. It sounds like you have checked the menus on the TV for overscan options, and were unsuccessful. In this case,
we would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of the TV for further assistance in this area.
