Just want you to add overscan compensation as it’s included in the current non-preview roku client for those of us with older TVs. Many older plasmas do not have the ability to turn this off, and the Roku 3 does not have a global adjustment. Thx

I got a new Roku for my (older) second TV, and saw it had pretty bad overscan problems. I looked around, found there was a Plex-specific setting, turned it on, and everything was great! Now it’s about 2 weeks later, I launch Plex, and find it’s totally rewritten. Overscan problem is back, I poke around in settings and… the overscan option is gone. Please fix this up-degrade :-/

It’s not forgotten, we just still need to add it.

Timing for adding back in?

I just ran into this problem with a CC+GTV plugged into an older television.

The Plex three dot library buttons are off the screen. So, overscan compensation at least for the interface would be nice to have.
