So I just picked up my Wii U. My TV doesn't have HDMI so I hooked the Wii U up using my Wii component cable. The picture is fine except that it is cut off on the left, right, and bottom. The cut off space is showing on the touchpad. I tried different screen settings and I also tried using the Wii composite cable instead. These side areas are still cut off even if I switch the aspect ratio on my television. I've done all the usual troubleshooting with powering the Wii U and the TV off and on and disconnecting and reconnecting the cables. No change.
I'll be trying the Wii U with a different television later today. But in the meantime, has anyone else experienced this issue where more of the screen is visible on the gamepade than on the TV?
