Even when I set my DVD player to 16x9 mode (which I don't like to do, because I end up losing some picture top and bottom with 1.85.1 movies (thats the smaller bars, right), I have the same TV options. How exactly am I "supposed" to watch DVDs? In "normal" mode? You gotta be kidding me. No way, those gray bars are ugly, for one. I like seeing the top and bottom black bars, cuz it seems more "cinematic" that way.
So honestly, someone tell me how I should watch stuff on my widescreen TV. And that's for everything. I don't and probably will never own anything HD. Standard DVD and non-digital cable is cool for me. I have a Sony something-or-other HDTV. (Why in the hell they call them HDTV when the HD part is sold separatly, I'll never understand). The settings are normal, full, wide zoom, zoom. And I want to use the same mode for EVERYTHING. Too lazy and hard to change the settings all the damn time.
