#3): Really? Do you mean black edges, like underscan? Not normal, and if it is underscan, should not appear on any consumer set unless something needs repair. Or are you describing a video game display that is deliberately sized small so that nothing gets outside the viewing area of a normally overscanned TV?

Great points.
3) I must have described it inaccurately, I meant overscan. Sony sets seem to have more overscan than others of the time period.
