I know it may sound simple, but...is your TV in "zoom" mode of any kind?

My Mitsu 65" HDTV displays perfectly....my Xbox set to Widescreen display
and TV set to Standard display,. but if I go to Zoom mode the sides (and top
and bottom) are clipped resembling the problem you describe.

Just a thought....
