For most people having 3% of overscan will never be noticed. I would guess that the percentage of buyers that understand 1:1 pixel mapping is relatively small. I own a Sony RP LCD TV and it has worked well since I bought it in November of 2003. Of course it's a 42" set and I paid more for it then you would this 60" now AND mine is not the top of the line! Again, with a little research and work I'm confident the pixel mapping can be resolved. Think of it like this, you will be seriously jazzed when you get it figured out!
