In Reply to: Watching old movies - a serious question posted by Victor Khomenko on December 28, 2006 at 14:56:07:

I have both the 57” 16:9 CRT RP HDTV and the 42” Plasma HDTV. Both of them have the automatic display format (scaling) of which I find to be very handy especially when watching old 4:3 movies and or watching normal TV programming as it saves me a lot of time of peddling around for the right display format. Although I sometimes override it of course, this is entirely depending on the movie format that I am watching however, 90% of the time I just leave it the way it is as it gives me the best aspect ratio balance overall.

Here is the format (scaling) that I can choose from my TV

1. Automatic (I use this setting 90% of the time)
2. Super Zoom (Excellent for the new release with super anamorphic format movies)
3. 4:3
4. Movie Expand 14:9
5. Movie Expand 16:9
6. 16:9 Subtitle (Excellent for foreign movies)
7. Wide Screen

Another option is you can always use an external scaler.
