I guess I was just not prepared for widescreen yet. 99% of the stuff we have watched so far is not in wide screen format, so the picture gets a bit distorted. and the stuff we have watched in widescreen still forced the letterbox so the viewable picture is tiny.

I am forced to change the video format to "stretch" to make the picture look OK, but then I lose the bottom and side edge of the picture.

any TV gurus out there want to give me some tips that I can do to get a better experience?
