How to align the Plasma TV Display connected to a Mac notebook?

How to align the Plasma TV Display connected to a Mac notebook? I've got an oldish mac notebook (eg. not an intel based one). Works fine. I connect it to my plasma tv via a dvi->hdmi cable. Instantly it recognises stuff, displays flash on and off and finally the tv has the 2nd screen. kewl :)

"The easiest way will be to actually use a program like DisplayConfigX to set your resolution (if it isn't recognizing it correctly) and to handle the Overscan accordingly. (Example instructions on correcting Overscan)

That said, before you try DisplayConfigX - have you gone to the Displays Preference Pane in System Preferences and checked out the ""Options"" tab on the window that will appear on the TV (assuming spanned desktop). In the options tab there are two checkboxes - one labelled ""Best for Video"" and another one labelled ""Overscan"". See if those options will help you out. (Sorry I can't find a screenshot)"

Sounds like you need to adjust the picture settings on the TV itself rather than the Macbook.
