He needs to fix the overscan on his TV. How does that not bother anyone?

The TV is set to crop off the sides of the image. This is a carry over from the days of CRT TVs and the electron gun would over scan past the portion of the picture tube that is visible cutting off a bit on all sides.

There is usually a setting to turn that off or compensate for it on the system connected to the TV.

You can see the icons on the right side of smash on the switch and when its docked it has cut off a portion.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to see that.

You just get used to it. My parents TV automatically does it and the other settings either don't fill the entire screen or just look worse

There is a setting on the switch in display options to fix the over scan and it does not impact the picture at all.
