    It's because your TV has a feature called overscan active, meaning that every pixel on the screen is being stretched and you are loosing upto 4 or 5 inches of viewable tv screen. Google your tv's make and model with the term overscan for instructions on how to turn this off.

    It isnt a true representation of the original image, you should always strive to map 1:1 to get the best image especially with interlaced content, obviously if you are upscaling SD it doesnt really matter as much, but it will still put less strain on your tv leaving it free to do all other wonderful stuff like BFI.
