My Monitor is Recognized as a 47" TV and Not the 42" that it is

Asked by David Jackson

I am using Ubuntu as a HTPC. I have the HDMI connected to a Toshiba 42" TV.
Ubuntu is recognizing my TV as a 47" Toshiba. Therefore I can't see the sides and top of the screen. Is there any way to fix this. I have tried rebooting and changing resolution.
