Being slightly more technical as an HD picture is exactly 1920x1080 pixes (if 1080i) and a HD TV is 1920x1080 (if a 1080 tv) then 'Just Scan' means each pixel of the picture matches exactly with each pixel of the TV. This means you get the best quality HD picture possible

Otherwise your TV is Digitally zooming into the HD picture slightly, and an extreme example of how that can mess with a picture is the digital zoom you get on cameras
