Showoff. :P Seriously though, Samsung do some nice sets and I like their menu system a lot better than the Xross Media Bar thing on a lot of Sony TVs.
I like having no overscan where possible so I can see the full-frame, even the mistakes. It's amazing how many errors are turning up especially on the BBC News channel especially these days, like placing on-screen display boxes well outside the title safe area. I paid for those extra pixels, I damn well better see 'em.

It's only SD channels that are designed with overscan in mind (due to the way CRT TVs work). Watch an HD channel without it set to 'Screen Fit' and you are cutting off picture designed to be seen

Exactly. I'd rather have slight windowboxing on a source rather than slight overscan, especially on games consoles. Screen Fit usually gives you maximum clarity when running in native panel resolution... it's what you bought the TV for, right?
