Yes, HDMI, (ps3). I've played around with all the settings in both my TV, and PS3, as well as my Sony Blu Ray player and I'm still not seeing the "whole picture". After doing some reading my DLP TV isn't capable of 1:1 pixel mapping that would enable the whole frame to show up. It's a rear projection and from what I read, they all have overscan issues. Saving my pennies for a new 1080p TV that has the 1:1 pixel mapping feature.
720p TV's don't usually support 1:1 pixel mapping for 2 reasons:
1. There isn't a ton of content that is 720p. It's mostly 480 or 1080p.
2. More importantly, there are virtually no 720p TVs in existance. Almost all of them are 768p TVs, and whatever dearth of content there is for 720p, there is truly almost none that is 768p.
Of course, you can hook up a PC and run at the native resolution of the screen.
Can you tell you PS3 to account for overscan? If your TV has overscan, sometimes you can set the device (PS3) to shrink the image so you can still see all of it.
