I had the same trouble and had to get out my TV remote and search through the Menu to fix the overscan.
Currently I am typing this with ArchLinuxArm running on my Pine64+. The monitor resolution is 1920 X 1080. This on a 1366 X 768 monitor (surprised this even works!), so it's just a little hard to read.
My understanding is that the GPU boots first and sets the video mode including resolution, then starts the CPU. This is why Applications > Settings > Display (on xfce4) doesn't let me change anything. If a command existed to alter the screen resolution it would need to change files in /boot and change would take effect after rebooting.
I've searched through /boot and there doesn't appear to be anything I could edit to change this. Anyone know? 1920 X 1080 is awesome, but the logical pixels are smaller (and more numerous) than the physical, so some disappear.
Cheers!
