This sounds like an overscan issue.  The video HOWTOs at

http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_5.0/ cover
overscan issues.  I'll quote from that -

"The choice between overscan and fullscreen doesn't actually change the
resolution. The default overscan mode will restrict all output to the
central part of the display, with black borders around all four edges.
Fullscreen mode uses all of the display. The problem is that
televisions often only show the central part, which makes overscan the
better choice for those televisions. Computer monitors usually can
handle fullscreen. A big problem is that the overscan region is not
exact, some adjusting of your televisions horizontal and vertical
controls will be needed to get the best result."

If you are using a computer monitor, and you want to use fullscreen
mode, then see the
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_5.0/video-test.shtml
section of the HOWTO.
