Overscan is applied to hide image distortion at the edges of a CRT tube.
This is usually set at the factory at the optimum level but you can
certainly try setting it at '0', or another setting and see what happens.
If I turn all overscan off (is it as simple as

After setting overscan at a different level you'll also have to adjust your
horizontal/vertical settings to avoid distortion in the image. There'll be
different settings for 4:3/16:9 image.
