Are you able to rename the input socket used on the TV? On some

if you name it "PC," it will switch off overscan.
I've looked for options to change without much luck. The TV has "PC"
assigned to a VGA port - I will see if there is a way to move the
name.
Your "zooming" problem is probably related.
I did not have this zooming issue with the old NUC, so I think it is
unlikely to be related. But never say never....

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?
There is a delay when switching before the display comes up - 3-5
seconds maybe? But that is every time I switch. And in my case the
monitor isn't in standby - the delay is just the switch-over (I assume
the delay is caused by HDMI negotiations, X and/or video driver
figuring out the monitor that just got connected, etc.).
I was hoping to force the resolution in the X config and the KDE
config, so that at least it couldn't confuse itself anymore. Maybe I
succeeded in doing so, but have been too focused on the "zoom" issue
to realize?
