Most blockbuster feature films however are 2.35:1 which is a good bit wider than 16:9. Some channels stretch images 4:3 images as well to make people look fat just so it will fill up people's 16:9 screens. Some crop the top and bottom of 4:3 images to fill the screens. Its all pretty depressing if you ask me and one of the reasons I only watch movies on DVD or Blu-ray. The cable channels know no shame when it comes to mutilating content.

Shouldn't most of the LCDs in that price range accept (unprotected) 1080p content over analog RGB from an Xbox? At least I think this is the case if what I understand is correct concerning what an xbox is sending out over component vs Blu Ray over HDMI. Admittedly, I'm not much of a gamer though.

Try DVD's that originate on HD video, like Planet Earth, and you won't see black bars. Content that originates on HD video will fill your 16:9 screen. You need to understand that our 16:9 screens were created for HD video. Film is shot in a variety of aspect ratios and 90% do not perfectly align to your screen. Therefore, if our HD TV's were specifically designed for film aspect ratios, which of the dozen aspect ratios would...

For HD you have to sign up for the HD package from your cable/sat provider and a Bluray play for the best HD quality, just run the HDMI stright to the tv and audio outs too the reciever. You can get a nice brand name BD player from $126-$150 (holiday sales) + they can stream movies from Amazon or Netflix depending on the brand you get, + otherthings over the net.

I appreciate your help. I have already sent an email to Bose and i will be contacting them as well. I am loosing hopes and i think i will return this, if i don't find a solution in couple of days.

isn't chump change. Medi-Cal could have definitely been more efficient in years past, and I essentially blame it on spending on more superfluous programs during the good days, rather than saving for the rainy days. I have personally spoken with a healthcare pro who had a senator's ear in getting some bs resolved, but the DHS didn't give a crap, because they had the governor's ear. The are extremely powerful. AFAIK, there...

I'd really like to hard-wire my Lan connection to it but I don't have a port where my TV is and it would be impossible to wire otherwise. I was wondering how the Netflix streaming worked when you suffered some packet losses on your wireless connection. From what I've read Netflix only downgrades your video signal when the connection slows but doesn't increase it when the signal picks up again. The idea of streaming movies...

Thanks I'll look....
