I just bought a new TV. It's not a great one, but I basically got it to tide me over until I save up for the one I really want (the ex took the last one). It's a Samsung.
Surprisingly, I find that the TV appears to have a 16:9 mode. I was quite surprised by this, but nonetheless there it is.
Now, here's the question:
I'm trying out an anamorphic DVD on my Toshiba player and it appears that when played in anamorphic mode, I'm getting some cropping on the top and bottom of the frame as compared to watching it in standard mode. Also, there is some stretching of the picture horizontally.
When viewing a regular display, such as TV broadcast, on the TV when 16:9 mode is on, it does not appear to be re-framing the picture at all, so I don't think it's the TV doing the cropping.
I'm inclined to think that my DVD player is the problem.
Anyone have any clue what the heck is going on here?
