How acurate is the flip out viewfinder?

I put on two filters the other day (UV and Polarized), and went out to shoot some test footage. Well, when I look at the footage on my mac, I can see bits of the filters in the corners of the footage. Well, as I was shooting, I'm pretty sure that I did not see them.

Did I just not notice, or is the flipout viewfinder cropped a bit?
 
I noticed the same thing on some old footage I took. Does anyone know if you can fix this by zooming in a little? It usually happens when you put on two or more lens, which I am kinda weary about since I am using a Sepia Filter and for some shots a Wide Angle Lens on top of that...
 
Was there any specific reason for shooting with the UV and polarizer? Because theres really no need to be using both together. As far as the little vignetting from the filters if your shooting with the 100 or 100a, you would be getting the overscanned image in your LCD so you would'nt have been able to see it. If you turn on the title/action safe overlays in your NLE you will be able to tell if it will be displayed when played back on your tv.

The UV I pretty much leave on at all times, as to not scratch the lens. The polarizer, because I'm planning an outdoor shoot. It's not a big deal or anything, because I'll be letterboxing in post. I was just under the assumption that the viewfinder was exactly your entire frame. Guess not.
 
Not sure of the 100 or 100a, I'm using a 102b but it seems you are right. I think the flipout LCD is about 97% of the full frame. The view finder eye piece is 100%. I spotted the filters on them but not on the LCD screen.
