Hey guys,
I really haven't jumped into the HDTV market yet (being a poor college student has somethin' to do with it), so please forgive my ignorance. But I heard that almost, if not all widescreen HDTVs will stretch a progressive scan signal to fill the screen. In other words, for 16x9 material, this is no biggie. But for 4x3 material such as certain tv shows or certain video games, it will stretch and be distorted. Are there any tvs that will let you change the view modes even in progressive scan?
