Do HDTVs have TV overscan?

[neo_sapien]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I'm trying to figure out if I should include a 16 pixel border on each side of an SVCD encode if I'm planning to view the movie on an HDTV in the future.

A CRT TV cuts out those 16 pixels per side and gives you a smaller viewable area than what you've encoded; does an HDTV do this as well?

Thanks for your time.

I believe that would depend if it is widescreen or not... just a guess.

I honestly don't know and I don't know of anyone here that might, but give the great home theater forum at www.avsforum.com a try. If there is something to be known about TV's or HDTV these guys will know it. Some of the guys that frequent that forum know way more then should be known about TV's. One word of caution they are a bit anal(kinda like us I guess :)) about posting in the right forum so choose wisely.

Good Luck,
Mark

Thanks for your time, and your help :)

Doing a search on "overscan" on that forum, it seems like every other HDTV set has overscan.
