Only one UI overscan setting for all resolutions (HD200 and local)

Multiple UI overscan settings not preserved for multiple output resolutions. (There's only one overscan setting, not per-resolution settings)

Switching resolutions can, depending on the TV/projector, produce completely different output characteristics which require adjustment to the UI overscan settings.

Since the current setting applies to all resolutions, the UI display can become poorly formatted or somewhat unusable when the resolution is switched. This is further compounded by the fact that the UI resolution also switches when the Native Switching mode alters the video output resolution (another incident filed on that).

Actually they are, as you note below, sounds like you really want per-resolution Overscan settings.

Sorry, I guess it's a matter of interpretation. What I meant is what you guessed, overscan settings on a per-resolution basis. I tweaked the language a bit so there's no ambiguity in meaning.

When I said "maintained" I meant unique settings are not maintained. Making a change to one resolution's UI overscan will affect the display of the UI at any other resolution.

FWIW, the UI overscan settings are consistent across resolutions. I can verify this quite easilly as my display does not overscan and the UI is always in the same place in relation to the rest of the screen.

Yes, this issue might not be an issue at all on a non-overscanning display. In that case a single overscan setting may work properly for any resolution.
