Don't suppose anyone knows how to get into the service menu for a
Sony KDS-70R2000?
I need to reduce the amount of overscan for use with a PC.


Hi Dr.Z.,
It's not an answer to your post but it's a bit of a coincidence that
I'm just about to buy one of these 'little' babies. Any negative
points to watch out for, apart from overscan that is ?

I've not had much time to play with it yet - it's a work thing rather than
mine personally - but so far it's looking good.
It's the best picture I've seen on an RPTV and while it doesn't have the
same clarity and depth of colour as a quality CRT set it looks very nice
playing hi-def video from a PC.

The only problem we've got is that one of it's primary functions will be for
use with a PC for things like powerpoint , and that's not good if you can't
see the start button or toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

It has been suggested that one possible fix is to use powerstrip to do
something like 1860x1020 instead of 1920x1080.
The slight loss of desktop area won't be a problem - it's just a case of
seeing if the TV will accept the non-standard resolution

The Nvidia Control Panel (& probably the ATI one too) now allows for a great
deal of tweaking of position, resolution etc. AFAICS Powerstrip is now
redundant.
