Anyone else having this problem?

I've got a 55" HDTV Widescreen. I plopped in Halo 2 last night and started
on the single player game. It feels like I'm zoomed in a little bit. The
icons in the corner (shields, health, etc) are clipped. Meaning about 2
inches of screen is getting cut off from the top and the sides (like i'm
zoomed in). I checked my xbox settings and I'm set to widescreen and my HD
is turned on. I've even shut them off in the xbox and no change. I have
also changed my TV from 16:9 to 4:3, no change, still clipped just at a
4:3 ratio.

Multiplayer does the same. If i put in Halo 1, it works fine.
