use xrandr to get the display name:
xrandr should be usable by whoever's running the current X session. At
least, I've never needed root to use xrandr.

"xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set underscan on" should work. The man page
doesn't totally make that clear, but that's what worked for me.
Confusingly enough, you can usually set one of a TV's HDMI inputs to
something like "PC mode" where it'll expect input without overscan.
This causes trouble if you plug other HDMI sources into that port, since
many/most of these output overscanned video by default.
