I'm a new owner of this TV (nice bedroom addition) and I've got a couple questions hopefully someone here can help me answer. For starters, I'm using a Panny S35 Prog. Scan DVD player (why not for $100?). When watching a DVD, using the P. Size button on the remote you can switch between 'normal' and 'wide' mode. Is 'wide' mode the enhanced 16:9 picture that I want to use? Are there different aspect ratios that it is/isn't beneficial to use 'wide' mode? Or if a DVD is enhanced for widescreen, should I always use 'wide' mode?
Also, is it worthwhile to get into the service menu to unlock certain features? After reading the CNET review board, people seemed to be getting more out of their TXM2796, but I don't know if there are similar features to unlock with the TXM2797. This question is aside from picture improvements that could be gained from entering the service menu.
Lastly, what were some of the menu settings that you've found after using AVIA (or similar calibration disk) for setting the picture? Unfortunately I'm not in front of the tele, but I'll post what I came up with later tonight when I'm home.
