It does, but only if you have hooked up the pc to the tv via vga
cable. The option is no longer available if you have it hooked up via
hdmi.

I have the res in the computer set via the NVIDIA control panel to
1280 x 720. It very confusing that it will not center on the display.

Today in fact I was just reading in the Samsung owners manual. It
says quote: "You can not connect this TV to a PC via HDMI/DVI."

I've thought about just hooking the two together again with the VGA
cable. I *know* that works, but I really want the digital image
provided with the HDMI cable.

Does anyone know if the firmware/software in the Samsung DLP TVs is
upgradeable?

Might be a daft question and not relevant but I also have a Sammy 42"
(slightly different model) and as long as I set the resolution correctly
to suit the TV (1280x720) I get full screen with no need to centre.
What resolution do you have it set to?

(Note that my Sammy however does have a VGA input for PC's which is great)

Can't answer your question but it might be better asked in a TV forum or
newsgroup.

The AV Forums were decent IIRC when I was trying to decide which screen
to buy...
