Some of the newer TVs have a 1:1 pixel mapping mode, but if you turn them on you sometimes get garbage along the edges of the screen. You can confirm this yourself, but capturing some HD to your PC and viewing it in a window, you'll see there is more space around the edges than on your TV as well as you'll see the garbage, especially during commercials.
