My new graphics card is cutting the top, bottom and sides off of my TV, why?

I just installed a new graphics card and now my TV that I use as my monitor has the sides cut off about a 1/2in on every side. My tv native size is 16:9 but when i move my resolution to that it gets super blurry and even more is cut off. all my drivers seem to be up to date and I've checked everything on my TV and nothing lets me fix it though it.

My old graphics card never cut off a bit of my screen which is why this is really puzzling me.

Update:

im using a HDMI cord, not vga, my menu options tell my my vga/PC options are disabled because of that. also my graphics card was realeased in Nov '13

    Could you give us a specification as to what graphics card you're using? I see this problem most common on AMD graphics cards, such as mine, and if that's the case, then you should right click your desktop and go to Catalyst Control Center, on the left open My digital flat panels, and then click scaling options and move the overscan ticker to the right.

    read the TV manual for a list of resolutions it accepts , TVs don't take all resolutions like monitors, in the picture menu there is usually a VGA screen size adjustment

    Check to see if you tv has a PC setting under Source and try that.
