i just bought a lenovo thinkstation from a government auction for 40$
installed lubuntu fine and everything
but the TV that i have has a default 3% overscan
there is absolutely no way to disable it (believe me ive tried)
it cuts off most of the taskbar so its unusable
ive tried things like xrandr --output HDMI-1 --scale 0.95x0.95 but that just scales the res
is there a way to shrink the image size on the screen so i can bypass the overscan on the computer side
if i cant then there is nothing i can do besides just buy a new TV

I don't use taskbars in any OS--just do Alt+Tab, Win+Tab, Alt+Esc. Hold Shift for reverse order.
In Xfce, the taskbar and dock are called panels. Panels can be moved around the screen, resized, locked into position, etc. It's fairly customizable. If LXDE can't do that, give Xfce a shot.
The OS for Raspberry Pi single board computers (Raspbian) has a feature which will accommodate for TV overscan (pic related). Raspbian OS is based on Debian but compiled for the Pi's architecture so you won't be installing it on your computer. There is this script to change overscan https://github.com/ukscone/set_overscan however I don't know if it's hardware dependent.
If the machine has NVIDIA graphics, which it probably doesn't, run nvidia-settings after installing the Nvidia proprietary driver. From there you can change settings like image positioning.
Using a TV isn't the best for a computer monitor, especially if you do gaming, because of high latency (feels like input lag). Also low DPI so even though the TV might be 1080p, you can clearly see each pixel from up close.
