Missing 2 inches of screen on Halo 2 16:9

| Make sure you do not have the image stretched - most
Widescreen TVs have an option to stretch the image so that
it fits the screen and does not have the vercical bars
(similar to horizontal bars when you watch a widescreen
movie on a 4:3 TV) on the side when you are watching 4:3
ratio program.
The option should be in your TV settings

| This is a widely known problem. Plenty of talk about it over at the
bungie boards. It is only occurring on some widescreen sets, not all.
The amount that is cutoff is different on each set.
Looks like Bungie used more of the overscan area that most sets can
show. Generally, a set can be tweaked, via service menus, to show more
overscan area, but using and changing items in the service menu is NOT
for the faint of heart. I wouldn't recommend it.
It sucks and although many are hopeful bungie can fix it, I doubt
we'll see a fix. I'm in the same boat as you and I'm pretty pissed
that this oversight was made. If Bungie didn't catch it (all test TVs
identical?), surely at least one or two previewers saw it. Somebody
dropped the ball big-time
