Overscan, why don't Sony compensate for it?

If you don't know Overscan is what the majority of TVs out there do, they don't show you the whole picture. Because the edges of videos and programmes arn't guarenteed as good quality as the rest of the picture, e.g. rough or blured, televisions will actually zoom slighty. You can see what I mean if you watch a video file on your PS3 in normal or origionalmode (soo its generally alot smaller than your screen) then change it to full screen if you can but notice the edges of the shot in each mode, you should lose some of the picture.

This only started bugging me when I got a tv that could turn off overscan for my HDMI so I could see everything on my PS3, but my new tv doesnt have this feature and its anoying me abit. But what I also noticed was that the PS3 does compensate for this, but only on the web browser. So why cant it have a universal setting for this for games and videos?

Its not the job of the PS3 to do that, its your monitor or TV's job.

My monitor has no overscan.
