|
|
Samsung LCD TV. Switching from regular channel to HD same program the picture zooms. The outer edges of the picture disappears and what's left fills the screen. I tried scanning through the picture settings stretch , zoom, normal. And I just can't get the same picture.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like the auto switch on monitors. See if there's a setting in the menu for "best fit" or "fill screen" maybe even "overscan"

Shaw cable in N Van. I tried AR's suggestions and thanks AR always good ideas. The best I can get it to is black borders all the way around in SD.
There's adjustments in the cable box too ?

Yes now it does sound like the box. Find your cable boxes model number and see how you get into the setup menu.

Not having any luck. The person I'm visiting is convinced that HD is no more than a zoomed image of SD.
Try a different question :
2 channels have the same game on: one SD, one HD. Is it coming from 2 cameras close to each other or processed down for SD?

Setting the picture size to 16:9 fixes the HD picture(channel 223) but makes the SD (channel 22?) smaller than the screen all around.
Doesn't seem right to have to dick around with the setup just to change channels.

Down converted usually. Most networks have ditched their SD cam's by now.

Fargin pain in the azz isn't it?
I hate the lack of aspect ratio control on most of the new stuff. My 11 year old TV had channel by channel aspect ration control.
I just got a cable box and I see the letterboxed/pillarboxed image from the HD side of things.
They just don't have a damn clue how to broadcast things anymore.

What some TV service providers do is send the SD signal in HD but the image is SD and the added resolution of the black around the image makes up the rest of the HD signal. Similar to how a 2:4 aspect movie really isnt 1080 lines horizontal and only 800 lines.
But not all stations do that or providers.
But I still say there has to be a setting in your cable box to address this.

Very helpful guys
This also explains why I get a black border all the way around the picture at home on some pictures. (Bev)
Thanks again
