Reader Reviews I bought this item in Best Buy before it was released officially, to go along with the Samsung 40" Series 5 HDTV released this year. The up-conversion abilities are outstanding, and the TV picture is excellent. While watching the TV, I can change the aspect ratio using the TV remote or the Time-Warner cable remote, and I can fill the screen if desired to remove any letter-box video, but I have a complaint which I already voiced to Samsung. When using the Blu-Ray player the zoom function available during TV watching cannot be accessed, and I am forced to watch lettbox versions of the video whether I like it or not, even though the cable remote was able to pick-up other functions of the Blu-Ray player. The option dissappears. The "level 3" Samsung technician said it cannot be done. Is he uninformed, ignorant, or just plain lieing? I replaced a 32" Magnavox TV with the Samsing 40" LN40A550, but the lesser quality Magnavox had an automatic option which pulled any picture to fill the screen if desired. Go figure. A $1200 TV and a $400 blu-ray player are outperformed by a lowly Magnavox when it comes to aspect ratios. Comment (1) | Permalink | (Report this)
