ANyone else with an AV48wp30 using an HD digital cable box with component video notice you can't change the screen format?

And when I reset convergance, as soon as I make the adjustment and go back to video, it doesn't seem to change, so I go back to reset and the changes don't seem to be made in the cross hairs?
Three weeks after I bought this one, the 56 came out and I couldn't take this one back.... D@mn !t!

Most TVs when fed an HD signal (720P or 1080i) cannot change the stretch mode. The Toshiba 82 series can properly stretch an HD input from 4:3 to fill 16:9. Hitachis can also stretch an HD signal, however the stretch on the Hitachi is essentially useless because it crops too much top & bottom and looks like hell.

Sorry, I can't help you on the convergence, someone familiar with your brand will have to assist.

Please don't PM me with questions that can (and should) be asked in the forum, thanks. Personal Question? Fire away.

The Tosh can only stretch a 1080i picture, not a 720p one. I put my Motorola dct 5100 into 720p and tried to strech MNF, but couldn't. Switched to 1080i and could. Still, it should be only a few more years of even having to worry about it.
