Are you able to rename the input socket used on the TV?  On some sets,
if you name it "PC," it will switch off overscan.

Your "zooming" problem is probably related.

I've seen that kind of thing where Linux is setting resolutions
automatically based on the monitor's capabilities.  But, at the time
that X was figuring this information out, the monitor hadn't come out
of standby mode, and wasn't responding to probes.

Does that sound like the timing of events with your issue?
