    Problem with Magnavox HDTV Aspect Ratio

    So, whenever I visit my girlfriend's parents house, I notice that their HDTV has this really obnoxious tendency of "automatically" zooming and cropping images on the screen.

    HD looking "too" digital?

    Hey guys, My roomate just bought a Samsung 46" LCD and I tried to set it up for him by running the THX Optimizer on one of the "Star Wars" standard DVDs (plugged in with components). I noticed that the film almost looks like it was shot by broadcast cameras. The camera movements remind me of...
