Aren’t there any TVs that let you zoom in on the image? Like they used to do for widescreen?
I’m not sure this topic needs to continue to shamble along in search of fresh brains, but yes. Actually most TV’s sold today zoom in on the image a little by default, trimming a few pixels from all sides, unless you find the option to tell it not to do that. Overscan is still with us in the digital HDTV world, it’s just a smaller amount. I don’t know about TV’s, but my Blu-ray player allows me to zoom the film in or out, with several options ranging from 1/2 size to 3X magnification. This is very useful for things like the GOUT which end up both letterboxed and pillarboxed on a 16x9 display, so you can zoom quite a bit without truncating the image at all–but of course, the poor image quality is then even more apparent.
