[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 63881, member: 10287"] Since 2 weeks I am proud owner of a 42" toshiba lcd tv. Hey mediaportal is great on it! Well you may know the problem of watching 4:3 tv on a widescreen display. If you switch to 16:9 all the people on the tv seems to become very fat and it looks unnatural. Now, the toshiba has a zoom mode called "Superlive" that works this way: There is nothing cut of at top or bottom or only very little. The image is stretched in width to 16:9. Now, the trick is, the image is streched nonlinear. The center part is almost unchanged and the further to the outside the picture is streched more (see sketch). Assuming that most tv shows show the important parts near the center, the zoom mode works very well and doesnÂ´t look distorted. Maybe it is an idea to add such a mode to mp? donÂ´t know if other brands have similar zoom modes. what do you think? tomtom [img]http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/2906/superlive2gf.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
