it actually normal
Your TV is a good tv with small overscanning. (if anybody here is an expert knows what i am saying).
bad tv overscan a lot. That\'s why you don\'t see borders. Good one doesn\'t overscan much, my tv only overscan about 3% because i tweak and adjust it while some tv have 10% overscan and over.
3% overscan or under is great for watching broadcast and DVD movies.
only video games have borders because they\'re underscan. Only if there are some options in the video games like screen centering and stretching/shrinking the size of the screen.
But i haven\'t found one with size option. only screen centering.
s-video cable won\'t make any differences.
So is component for that matter.
the programmer that made the game had underscan the vidoegames. Either they didn\'t know that or didn\'t bother fixing it.
I played all video games, even watching ads on tv.
All games from XBOX, PS2, and GCube are underscan. I can see borders in the tv commercials of the games.
Some videogames have a very bad underscan like FFX.
Another reason why all games are underscan is probably the director/programmer didn\'t know what tv you have. Almost all tv are overscan, about 10% or of the image is missing. Because of that, developers have to underscan about 5 - 15% of the games so you can see the whole screen on even a bad overscan tv.
My tv was about 10% overscan when i first bought. with my remote control, i adjust the screen till it\'s only about 3% overscan. Now i can enjoy dvd movies, and broadcast more.
hope i clear that up well enough and didn\'t lose anybody.
