The biggest thing I hate about any HDMI overlay is they inevitably screw with the picture quality of the underlying image.

Could it not be turned off when it's not needed (I.E. The game is unpaused.)

And what specifically do you mean by overlay?

Monitors and TVs have been able to overlay some interface elements over the HDMI input since forever. I have never heard of an overlay degrading quality but maybe there are some poor implementations.
