Samsung TV and Computer input overscan

Are you plugging your computer into your Samsung UN46C6300? Are you getting overscan? This is not clearly documented in the manual for the Samsung UN46C6300 but if you set the input label to "PC" then the Samsung TV will no longer overscan that input.

I imagine this is the case for several other models of Samsung TVs.

Edit Name O MENUm → Input → Edit Name → ENTERE ■ VCR / DVD / Cable STB / Satellite STB / PVR STB / AV Receiver / Game / Camcorder / PC / DVI PC / DVI Devices / TV / IPTV / Blu-ray / HD DVD / DMA: Name the device connected to the input jacks to make your input source selection easier. ✎ When a PC with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz is connected to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) port, you should set the TV to DVI PC mode under Edit Name. ✎ When connecting an HDMI/DVI cable to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) port, you should set the TV to DVI PC or DVI Devices mode under Edit Name.
Why not say anything about Overscan?
