I'm trying to get the best output from the computer using either the HDMI to DVI cable.
but what ever setting I use part of the picture from HD shows I have on my PC are missing around the edges, not allot but enough to annoy me.

I previously used DVI to DVI but since I had an available HDMI port on the TV I figured it would be a better picture.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction as to the appropriate cables & what settings to use.
TV has S-Video, DVI, Composite(used for comcast box) & HDMI

Thanks in advance
 
EDTV is 480p (AKA 704x480).
You should be able to add a custom resolution (704*480).
This can be done in the NVIDIA control panel.

HDMI and DVI are fine.
Use a DVI/M-DVI/M or HDMI/M-DVI/M cable.
