"Wide Fit" picture size option? Can anyone tell me about the wide fit option on this tv?

The cable receiver remote control should have a "FORMAT" button . Press this you will find various options to fit the screen, stretch etc. I am able to see all cable channels fit to screen using the "FORMAT" option.

You have probably done this by now. On your remote go to the "Format" button just below and to the right of the power button. Once you press the format button you will see four options. I like the wide screen. Zoom is pretty cool too.

My tv has "1080p" on front and JVC and it fit perfectly. Working well after two months. Only took me 10 mins to replace and I'm not handy.

I was at my local Big Box store today trying to compare the 3 mentioned TV's and the samsung is a B860 not 850, and I ruled it out because the edge of the TV (all the way around) is clear and it creates a very distracting reflection. And they now no longer carry the V10 in a 50" but have it in a 54", and offers it up to me for $1888., Out the Door!!! I think that deal is gonna be hard to beat ! Is there anything such as "to big" ?

That clinches it. Amazon's good about accepting returns (I returned a Samsung late last year), but sounds like it's not worth the hassle this time. Thanks for confirming my choice. (I like Panasonic, too, but when I ask for a personal favorite from some of these sales guys who are around hundreds of TV sets every day, they almost always say Sony's the one.)

Iam sorry it took so long to answer your your question but the viewing size is only 1 1/2 by 3 7/8 inchs Ive hadit about a year now I just use it for home use. the viewing area does look a lot bigger on the picture. I don't have any problems with it but you can return it if you have a problem with the size of the viewing area. good luck and again sorry it took so long for me to answer. vern

I think the sample I have outputs 16:9 on a one year old TV. There maybe a way to adjust this. For now I can only find a switch for number of pixels. I hope this helps.

I'm going to have to say no. I saw the discrepancy as well but my TV fit within both ranges. I think your TV will be too large though, sorry.

I had a really hard time trying to find a list of compatible models, so I googled the question- will the LG lsw200bg fit (model tv)? And after scrolling threw 2 pages on a lg blog I found it answered with a simple yes! Also the plate is 200x200 mount if you know your tv accepts that... Your good to go! P.S. It's a great mount!

It looks as good as a non-HDTV. From the few times I've looked at SD tv though, it doesn't utilize widescreen (It's still 4:3 rather than 16:9). So that's something you might want to think about.

I have a 55 inch LG LED and a 42 in LG LCD, so take that with a grain of salt when comparing to the one you're asking about. My 55 in one has a tad under 4 inches from table top to bottom of viewing area (the bezel is very narrow - not as narrow as the sides and top, but still narrow). My 42 inch TV is about 5 inches from table top to bottom of viewing area. The bezel on this one is at least an inch and a half. You should be able to tell from the dimensions printed with the specs. If you're buying online, it's always a good idea to get into a brick&mortar; store to check out the actual product - or at least one close to its specifications. Hope that was of some help.

If you are asking about the FORMAT or ASPECT RATIO, look on the remote about mid-way top to bottom.There's a row of horizontal buttons (Mute/Format/Info/Favorites). I couldn't find anything in the manualif you don't have the remote...

You can adjust the aspect ratio so that it fills the entire screen, but that would distort the picture somewhat. I like to put it in 4:3 mode, so it looks like a normal picture. Burn-in warnings be damned! But you'll be watching the important stuff through the HD air antenna anyway. I think the SD picture is just okay. It's a bit pixelated (probably because of the size of the TV) and the colors don't seem as sharp as my 23-year old Sony Trinitron. Once you see the HD picture, SD will look that much worse.

It's not your configuration. The tv quality is just my great. I have regretted this tv purchase wet since I bought it. I should have went with the samsung. If you do figure out something that improves it, please let me know because I had tried everything.

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

Pretty much my only reason for purchasing a tv like this or equivalent is for pc and and in display properties only show whatever monitor is hooked up and only shows what resolutions is capable of, example: if I have a 22" hooked up it shows its resolutions and if I change it to lets say 19" it will only show its resolutions. I did email samsung and see what they say but have a feeling it will be weeks before a response.
