Are you seeing the "correct" video *within* the
displayed area?  (i.e., does the image just look like
it has been "shrunk" and fitted within a "black
frame"?

If so, I suspect your LCD has a feature to autoset
the display parameters to the input signal.  Is there
any sort of "auto" button (in a setup menu, perhaps)?

You can also try any other configuration options on
the panel to see if *it* has been confused.  I doubt
it is really "broken"  :-/

A model number might help...  :>
