Not sure where to best post this question but its something that has always bugged me.
When I display a 4x3 DVD (say an older TV show) on my 16x9 TV, the framing looks funny.
The two black vertical bars on either side are not straight. They have a slight curve in them.
When I watch a 4x3 TV program from Direct TV on this same set, the vertical black bars are perfectly straight.
Any idea what could be causing the spooning or concave affect on the black bars when watching a DVD vs Direct TV? The picture itself is not distorted in any way that I can tell, just the bars, which is distracting.
The TV is set in "normal" mode which is what it should be set for to watch 4:3 material unstretched.
