      Hi! I'm new and have little understanding on how to use Retropie, and using a pi in general. I started it up and I have pretty substantial black bars around the screen, including when starting the pi and in the menu screen. It seems like its down scaling the resolution automatically (my screen is 1920x1080) and I don't know if its something I did wrong, the pi, or Retropie. I've tried using a different HDMI cord and even using another pi. If anyone could give some suggestions it would be very appreciated.
