I think the 'Overscan' button on the remote is great. Overscan (or really the lack of it) is becoming more and more important in this more-and-more HD sophisticated world.

People a] want (at least the option) to see the entire frame, as the director intended etc b] want pixel perfect processing - scaling, even when done well, means some loss of image quality and c] this is important for games too when you can lose gaming information at the edge of the screen for example.

This button also allows you to turn it off instantly too, if for example the lack of overscan results in something unsightly (eg a single green line was observed with Sky HD's image when not overscanned due to the way they broadcast their hi def).

As such, this feature is a big draw for me. What I really want to know is if Projector Central (or anyone else) can confirm to me which of the batch of the new 1080p projectors (JVC DLA-RS1, Mitsubishi HC5000, Panasonic PT-AE1000U, BenQ W10000, Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 in particular) have this capability (to disable overscan) too - whether on the remote or otherwise.
