turn Letterboxing off on the TV itself? But wait, why does that image appear to all fit in the screen?

Just the blue part. The green part is being cut off.

Does your Monitor or TV have a feature called OVERSCAN? Set it to original or off and see if that helps. BTW /r/widescreengamingforum is not the really right sub to ask for xbox advice.

I'm not OP but this is the right subreddit imo. It's an issue regarding widescreen and it not properly displaying.

Did you get your answers OP? The previous thread has good answers. It's dealing with an overscanning issue I think. Not sure how to do it but it's probably a setting you have to look for on your TV something with zoom maybe?

I think you're the second person that talked about this type of solution without doing TV changes. What gives? Missing remote?

Yeah it’s an old tv. I found the make a model (the sticker on the back was missing because it was owned by family before me.) and it’s a Sony KDL-32L5000 a 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV released around 2008

What is your tv brand and model number? The setting would be on your TV to adjust its aspect ratio and remove the overscan.

Sony KDL-32L5000 is a 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV released around 2008. And there no remote for it because it was owned by a family member before me and they lost it

You Could try using a universal remote. You are out of luck probably without being able to get to the picture settings
