I have a Toshiba 4:3 non-HDTV RPTV. I have read that the overscan test pattern in Video Essentials is actually not centered properly and everyone seems to recommend that one does not use it. Since I already have Video Essentials I do not wish to purchase AVIA also(it costs over $75 here in Canada). First off, which pattern can I use on Video Essentials to center the picture? Is the overscan pattern on VE really that noticably far off? Would I be able to set the overscan using VE say to 5% and then use another pattern on VE to center the actual image? I am thinking that even if the overscan pattern on VE is not centered, the overall dimensions would be correct for a particular overscan reading all the way around, and then I could move the image as whole until it was centered using another pattern on VE. Please advise me on the test patterns in VE only that I could use. Please do not mention AVIA patterns as I do not have that DVD.
One other thing. I have read other posts where people have different amounts of overscan say with the horizontal as compared with the veritcal. Should it not be exactly the same all the way around? If it is not the same, isn't the geometry actually not correct (not a true 4:3 image)? Since everyone here is looking for exactness, why would you distort the image like that.
