Maybe it is the TV? I know at least some have 'per-input' settings. We've sometimes had one input or another get into a zoom mode. I blame the kids; that's a lot safer than suggesting my wife might have pressed a button! Was your MacBook Pro connected to precisely the same input?
Other than that, I take it you're running under OSX? Are you using DisplayConfigX or similar?
