Why are the sides of my TV picture cut off?

The cutoff of the screen is due to something called “overscan”. While most TV’s will automatically fit the input image to your screen, some TV’s may cut off a little part of the screen – about 2-5% – and stretch the remaining image to fit the screen. The solution for overscan will vary depending on your TV.
