Hey thanks! It's  Playback Settings -> Zoom  btw
That seems to fix the scaling problem with the 1080
content, and it also seems to resolve the tearing that
I was seeing. However, it is also zooming all my
non-1080 content that was already scaled correctly,
and Im losing the outer 25% of all of that content
now. 

Unfortunately, it seems that the setting is all or
nothing, I couldn't see a way to only zoom particular
resolutions.

Any other thoughts?
