I was wondering if anyone knows why 720p TVs actually have a resolution of 768p? I find this odd because it means that native 720p content has to be upscaled to fill the screen which results, often times, in overscan. The only reason I can think of would be so the screen has a higher resolution for computer use, but I can't imagine anyone really using a 720p TV for a computer monitor. Or maybe it is easier to upscale 480i content to 768p, I don't know.
Anyone have any thoughts, I'm just curious?
