It's not likely you'll notice 16 pixels on a television seeing as most television's have a 5% overscan, and upwards of 10% in the worst cases.

For example: I can use AddBorders(26,16,26,16) on one of my televisions, and still wouldn't be able to see the edge of the displayed picture. The other 2 can take 24 pixels before the edge becomes apparent.

Plasma screens and some other HD ready LCD screens may not have such high overscan (if any), but, if you're looking at a tube, then you have soom room to play with.
