Technical Question about X-box

[Hatman89]

Hey guys,

I love the 360 my one complaint is that I feel like the left side of my screen is cut off by like an inch or so.... It is hard to explain... But I have tried to set my tv to a different setting and I also tried to set my X-box to a different setting. Does anyone else have this problem, or knowhow to fix it?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

50" DLP flat screen.... It just seems that the left side is cut off like a 1/2 inch or so....

What settings do you have the X-box on?

1080i widescreen

I've got a 50" DLP as well. Go with the 720p setting from the 360, but this shouldn't have anything to do with the alignment on your screen. My TV doesn't have any screen positioning adjustment that I can think of unless it's connected with a VGA cable. If you're using the component cables everything should be golden.

I've had issues in the past with seeing a black bar at the left edge with my HD receiver. I corrected that problem by adjusting the receivers screen setup options, but that obviously won't help you. Check your cables is about the best advice that I can offer. Maybe one of the pins is bent :confused:

I will try the 720 setting. But why I am really not to technically inclined so I saw 1080 and I thought that was more the 720 so I thought that was the one to use. I also use the HDMi hook up not compnent cables.... Should i go witht the component cables? a

Also to better my explination of the problem....

When I call an audible.... The box that appears seems to be off the screen by a couple of centimeters on it's left side...


I dunno... Maybe I am dum!?!?!?!?!?
