Limited Screen Sizing Options

byhizonr Nov 18, 2008
Pros Good picture.  Menu options clear and intuitive.  Set up automatic when first turned on. 
Cons Limited screen sizing options as discussed above.  No operating manual. 
Recommended it? Yes
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.
