Strange though, since nothing had been changed on yours, and both boards are out of the same size TV.
Are you sure the picture is shifted, and you don't just have a dead stripe or two on the right side? I mean, if you load a test pattern, what's it look like? Maybe snap a pic if you can.

It's definitely shifted off to the left by 5", but I can still see the whole screen is being ignited evenly when there's no signal. And to confirm; both sets are the same size & model number. The other one had a no-start fault, and this one had a shut off after a minute issue (solved by the first board swap). I sort of remember seeing a funny overscan-looking thing on this one before I fixed the shutdown issue. That's kind of bugging me, in case there's something causing the shift, which also could be loading the power supply and was the reason the board quit. I doubt that though.
Come to think: The only thing I haven't tried, is to use the media box from the other set. I'll be a monkey's uncle if the problem was in the media box, and here I'm swapping boards all over the place between the monitors! I would think logically, since the media box outputs a DVI signal, that the picture size & aspect is set within the monitor, but maybe not? Now I'll have to try.
