Re: New Vector Monitor Project: LM3886 headroom

Reducing the supply voltage won't do much for overscan, but it will slow
down slew time, possibly causing distorted vectors.

The chip has all kinds of protection on it. If you want to reduce
overscan the place to clip it is where it comes into the monitor (the X
and Y drives).
