Hi

Have a look in the setup options for the TV, most have a viewin mode option (ie wide, 16.9, 4.3 & 4.3 letterbox)

Most widecreen movies will still have bars at the top & bottom as this is what gives U the wide picture, personally i prefer widescreen with the bars as that way the top & bottom of the picture aint being cropped

Should've asked you guys way back.Most windscreen movies will still have bars at the top & bottom as this is what gives U the wide picture, personally i prefer widescreen with the bars as that way the top & bottom of the picture aint being cropped.
