Check out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Overscan and look at the ViewPortIn
and ViewPortOut settings.  Once you get a handle on it, you can do all of
your tweaking in one line of your xorg.conf (if you're running newer nVidia
drivers).  You have to adjust the values by trial and error, but it
shouldn't take you more than a half hour to get something you can live
with. :)

P.S. Is your resolution 1260x720?  It seems like it should be 1280x720.
