continuing what he said go to video output settings and when you get the option for 4:3 and 16:9 choose 16: 9

Go to vodeo output settings in the second menu from the left (the first one is profiles). Set it to display at 720p, 1080i or 1080p, whatever your TV does. It automatically displays in wide screen. HD is wide screen my nature. You will never find a full screen HD TV

Your TV could be in 4:3 mode. Mess with the TV buttons.player2

well i set it to widescren after a while and its not stretched but i was just playing on in in 16:9 with my xbox a few days ago so whatever my problem is fixed
