How do I fix my Xbox One cutting off the sides of the image?

So for some reason my Xbox One zooms in and cuts off the image about half an inch at the top and bottom, and about two inches on the sides of the screen. I noticed this because when I play Call of Duty Ghosts on my 360 I can see the full image, but when I play it on Xbox One it is slightly zoomed in. I've searched around in the settings and the only options in the One are 1080p and 720p which fixes nothing, and my screen size settings don't fix the problem either. The only thing I can think of is that I used a VGA cable to connect my 360 but the One only uses HDMI, is that the cause or am I missing something obvious?

    Hi,

    It's because either your Xbox One or TV is displaying an "Overscanned" signal. Try and adjust the aspect ratio settings on the TV, the function will be on your TV remote somewhere. It's usually one of these:

    Aspect

    Aspect Ratio

    Wide

    (icon of a square and < > arrows inside the square)

    So it varies from one manufacturer to another!
