Can't you adjust it from the TV end? Most monitors can, so I'd suspect TV's can as well - check your remote and the TV setup settings.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Checked them, but could find nothing...

And the lesson is?
Don't plug your stick into anything which matches hardware wise

I was going to say the HDMI port on the back of your tv, what did you think?

So... you waited a month to check out a new tech toy? Sorry man, but you lose your geek card. It's been revoked. Hand it back into the teller up front.

I'm actually not interested in gadgets and tech toys at all.
Never had the newest phone (I only use it for calling, messaging, some quick browsing, and email anyway), I was the last person from my group of friends to own a smartphone, I only have a tablet because I got one from work (I was the only one who stuck to budget and didn't pay extra and I never use it), I have a laptop since last year because my job required it, I don't have a SmartWatch, or whatever.
I just wanted to check out the Intel thingy because my dad sent me an hour and a half YouTube video of a lecture by Robert C. Martin that I thought would be cool to watch on my tv.
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if I am the least tech savvy person of all my friends (save for one who mills his own coffee, reads a physical newspaper, and doesn't own a tv (he got a big ass tv in a wholesale and gave it to his brother )).
It's mostly just stuff we don't need anyway
That said I do know how to write pretty awesome software
Oh, AND I did some Arduino stuff last year as well, that must count for something too

5 man points for the Arduino stuff.
Embedded programing is cool.

I have encountered with such problem, when I attached my notebook to an HD-ready TV, but I set Full HD resolution. Usually, there is no problem with such resolution e.g. 1080i signal from a DVB-T STB is OK, but notebook's progressive output somehow confuses my TV. However, selecting 1360x7something (not 768) is OK.
TLDR: Try to play with resolutions supported by TV.
Edit: I missed your last sentence, my bad, but I stilí think, that the problem is caused by TV supporting a little weird resolutions rather than notebook-like ones...

I DID find something after all... Some weird "overscan[^]" option that had to be turned off...

Awesome ! Although, I'm a bit surprised, I believed, that overscan is dead since we've switched to digital. Good to know it's alive...

Ok, thanks for that, I just realized my tv didn't suck as much as previously thought.

That's a 'feature'.
Way back in the early tube tv days, your TV would be adjusted so the edges of the image went behind the bezel so you'd be using all the available space.
Later when they needed a place to hide metadata for close captioning, they picked some of the scan lines that were always hidden by the bezel anyway.
Later still, because of the use of the edge scanlines for meta data, early analog flatscreen TVs needed to do the same thing or you'd have garbage on the edge of your screen.
While there's no technical need for it any more, it's still done for two reasons. The first is that when Joe Moron is at Worstbuy comparing a cut rate pieces of crap - that are only being offered as loss leaders for the sale of expensive cables and extended warranties - and an actual quality TV the single factor that has the biggest impact in him going "that one is better" is the size of stuff in the middle of the picture. This effect is enough that if the good TV doesn't play the same shenanegans most people will say the crappanel looks better no matter how objectively awful it is.   As a result virtually all TVs have the option on by default. This leads to the second reason, knowing that 99% of viewers won't see it; the people who encode video for broadcast deliberately don't put anything of value in the 20-30 pixels closest to the edge; so there remains no benefit to most consumers to turn it off on their own. As a result there are no eggs to hatch chickens to lay eggs. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, I read it somewhere.
Turned it off and checked if all my channels were still displaying alright.
They did

Yeah, unless you've got analog tv signals from somewhere (bottom tier cable???) the functional issue that required maintaining the behavior in digital TVs is gone. Unfortunately that leaves the psychological ones that keep the default locked in where it is.

Just been out for a two hour cycle in the Luberon foothills, all off road tracks, gravel roads and steep climbs. But the weather though, absoloute amazing for January, its 16 degrees, blue sky and no wind, like an English sumer. Even had to put the sunglasses on!
Sometimes living here has its rewards!
