Hey. I have a regular standard definition television. It's not too fancy but isn't exactly old. I bought it last year. Anyway, I use it for my PS3 and I've noticed that the TV cuts off the top and bottom of the game screen. For example, in Obivion, I have no clue what's going on as in-game info appears on the top of the screen and it's cut off. Any ideas what's wrong? My connection to the tv are the simple colored cables one gets in the PS3 box. Someone said it was because my television wasn't HD. The other day I went to my friend's place and he has an SD TV and the image fits on his tv screen. Any advice?

Sometimes you have to keep working with the settings to get everything to work correctly or to the best that can be delivered on the product.

lol well that was easy. Thanks Brettsuper14. And everyone else too. I always thought this was one of the minor disadvantages of having an SD TV. Apparently not. Thanks again!
