The result is a slight overscan at the bottom of the display where the crawl usually runs. Its really not a problem unless you like to read the crawls.
Question is: Is there any software to adjust this? Thanks.
What menus can you access? Do you have the correct remote? There may be an overscan setting somewhere.

Is the source a cable box or satellite box, or over the air antenna? A cable or satellite box's menu may have an overscan setting.
