So, I've just checked 10 "affordable" 720p TVs, all 32" or larger (not cheap, but not so expensive that our customers think they might as well buy a 1080p screen instead). All of them have just two EDID blocks available on the HDMI ports; the baseline EDID 1.3 block, and a CEA extensions block - they do not have a Display Device Data block.
Not one of them indicates overscan in the DTDs; they all indicate that they support 1920x1080 modes, with 1920x1080 active pixels, no borders, and 1280x720 modes, with 1280x720 active pixels, no borders.
How do you expect a TV to indicate overscan in the DTD? I have EDID dumps, so I can check these.
