TTQ B4U Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 perhaps with your TV, but I work for Panny and our TV's can be set to stretch the image as you describe filling the screen, fit in typical 4:3, zoom or fit in a justified mode. Justified is perfect and doesn't cause a goofy look. Believe me, I know what you're referencing. You think it looks great, but trust me, it really doesn't. It has nothing to do with what cable you have or anything, it is the ratio it is being broadcast in Unless you are watching it in 4:3 letterbox mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmeden Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 There is a free to download test DVD available here: http://www.tvblink.com/ It doesn't take the place of a true calibration DVD with a set of color filters and guide, but it does offer several patterns to test and tune your TV with.

black00ws6 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Digital Video Essentials (my personal favorite) http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Video-Essentials-Combo-Disc/dp/B000IHYY3Y/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1196230104&sr=8-1 and the other 2 i also use Avia 2 - the original is what i use, but this update looks good http://www.amazon.com/Avia-II-Guide-Home-Theater/dp/B000X4NJNS/ref=pd_bbs_5?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1196230104&sr=8-5 Sound & Vision Home Theater Setup http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Vision-Home-Theater-Tune-Up/dp/B00005TRZA/ref=pd_bbs_9?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1196230104&sr=8-9 don't rent them through netflix or blockbuster, you need the color filters to fully setup i have done enough t.v.'s for friends and family now that i tend to take about 30-45 mins J.R. Feel like doing 2 more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTurbo Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 And you got a $20 HDMI cable j/k I see the j/k. And I'll agree with ya to an extent, but only if you *don't* know what you are looking for in a cable can you get a *crappy* one. But, it's also a digital signal. Not many ways to degrade that signal given you use proper equipment. This again goes back to the *knowing* what you are buying rule. You guys think 65" is huge, come down into my basement where I broadcast at 120" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
