After I purchased this set (Model SK-26H520S), I was surprised to discover that there is no screen size mode comparable to either a "stretch" or "panoramic" mode, which stretches the edges of a 4:3 picture to fit the 16:9 screen, or a "wide" mode, which widens the whole 4:3 image equally to fit the 16:9 screen. The "overscan" mode expands the picture both vertically and horizontally so it fills the screen, but you lose the top and bottom of the picture. The "fill" mode retains the 4:3 perspective. This limitation, not present in my Toshiba and Vizio flat screen TVs, was a disappointment. Easy to mount on wall (eCost.com had free wall mount available after rebate). Speaker quality is only fair, but probably typical for a TV of this size and price.
