Put in a widescreen movie and play with the different modes. You'll find the right on. Or go see the guys at Best Buy or any electronics store, point them to the TV you have and ask them how to get widescreen to look properly.

Actually on standard mode I don't get black bars on the sides....it stretches the picture out to fill the screen. (I think that may be why I have picture quality issues)
I have a "narrow" mode that puts black bars on the sides....but those take up like half the screen.
I tried "zoom"...it gave me a smaller picture than "expand" did.....and of course like I was saying before, if the TV is widescreen then a widescreen movie should fit the screen, I shouldn't have black bars.
There might not be anything I can do about it, but it just doesn't make sense. If widescreen is the wave of the future then make the high end TV screens the right aspect ratio.
Doesn't seem that complicated.
