Hi, I just got a new Panasonic 53" inch Tau widescreen TV, and I have noticed when watching some wide screen movies that I Still get about a 2 inch black strip across the top and bottom on the screen, The movie says wide screen on the box and I have went into the DVD machine menu and made sure its on 16.9 , I have an aspect button on the tv remote and have 4 choices of screens, 1 Fullscreen, 2 Zoom, 3 Just and 4 is 4.3, the only time I get these DVDs to take up the FULL screen is when set to zoom But then I am missing the sides of the picture, 1 movie is the newer Bond movie and the DVD case says,,,Widescreen, 16.9 then below that it says 2.40:1, and says theactrical release format enhanced for wide screen TVs, I thought a widescreen movie played on a widescreen TV meant NO more lines on the top and bottom?? Is that right?, would a different DVD machine make the difference and get rid of the lines??,, and one last question, and I do appreciate all your help, my DVD machine does not say Progressive Scan anywhere on it or on the remote or in the onscreen menu so I take it that it does Not have P-Scan, so my question is,Does a P-Scan DVD Player give you a better picture and is there a specific type of player to get for a widescreen projection HDTV??
Thank -You
