I have recently purchased the Samsung LE40A457. The picture size is set to 16:9 and I have set my Virgin box to ‘Widescreen’. My concern is that the screen appears to be losing a little bit of the image around the edge. When I go into the Virgin menu the preview screen displays the full image.
I assume it is not possible to move the image around the screen or make it larger or smaller when the picture size is set to 16:9?
Is this just something I have to live with or do I need to revise my settings? My picture is perfectly acceptable I just want to make sure that I have done all I can to get it just right!

As I said last time, this sounds like the overscan area, which is normal for all TVs.

To be honest this is an issue with your TV rather than the Virgin box (your DVD player, analogue signal and freeview will all be doing the same thing), you'll probably get further if you go to the LCD forum and ask there about overscan options for your TV.
