Screen off center in XBox 360 HD

Yes, another day, another Xbox problem thread.

OK, this is an old problem. Whenever I play games through HDMI, everything is off center by to the right, either from an inch, to less that one.

So, it's annoying. This is not a problem in component. One thing is, I have to use a HDMI to DVI cord, since my TV only has DVI input.

Is there any options anywhere in Xbox360 where I can just sort fiddle with the screen to solve this problem?

no... it's not the 360's fault it's your TV. you need to re-adjust the centering via the service menu.

almost all video output devices are going to vary slightly from one to another. some possibly more drastic than others.

TVs are different from one another. my displays all things based on resolution. so I had to recenter 480p, 1080i ect and not worry about different inputs methods like component and HDMI... but like I said all TVs are different and handle it different.

I have an RCA HDTV. And I can't find anything that will help me straighten out the screen. I've been all over it.

Any ideas?

I think most modern TV's have a secret service menu that technicians access to make more sophisticated changes. Google your model number + service menu and you may find how to access it from some audio-video forum. I accessed my older Sony TV's menu trying to adjust the black-white ratio. You could really mess up your TV accessing a service menu though - you may be better off bringing it to a local TV shop with your 360 and have them adjust it.

by chance is it a 5x inch RCA projection?

I've had to service more than a few of these lately- I might have the service manual if you can't find what you're looking for.
