When I play the 360, the edges of the picture are cut off. Not just one side... the entire shebang on all sides. Its an old 2004 SDTV, so is this something that happens only to the old screens... or is there some options I need to adjust on the 360 or TV.

Thanks

360, the edges of the picture are cut off. Not just one side... the entire shebang on all sides. Its an old 2004 SDTV, so is this something that happens only to the old screens... or is there some options I need to adjust on the 360 or TV.

Did you set the 360 for SD? Both the physical cord and in the settings in the menu.

Pretty much all TVs have overscan, some worse than others, obviously. When comparing your Xbox 350 image that is on your TV to images you see on teh interwebz, you' ll almost always see less on the sides as well as the top and bottom. Unless it is really bad and affecting gameplay (unreadable items/unseeable icons, etc) then I wouldn' t worry about it. You probably can adjust the overscan by going into your TV' s service menu. How to do this depends on the make and model of TV. Don' t try to eliminate all overscan, though... just make it bearable.

EDIT: yeah, make sure your 360 is set to 480i 4:3.

People still own SDTV' s?

Absolutely, can' t replace all the TVs in the house with HD ones.

Can' t say I know anything that' d help the situation, short of buying a monitor that you can calibrate properly.

People still own SDTV' s?

Yep. I own an HD and like 3 million SD' s

Why not? I did.

Nowadays even people' s 5 year old kids have HDTVs.

SDTV causes eye cancer

Pretentious cockiness causes a 50% increased chance of ego-cancer, what' s your point?

and the other people who don' t get ego-cancer should be shot anyway
