I have noticed that when the picture is in in 'wide' mode, the linearity of the picture changes across the screen.
I would expect this in 'auto' mode, but in 'wide' the ratio should be the same all the way across.
This is especially noticable when there is slow pan from left to right. A scrolling message shows it the best.
At the edges of the screen, the picture is more compressed than it is in the middle.
So, as things move across they get thinner towards the edges and fatter in the middle.
You can't really see it on a still picture, its only when something moves slowely across the screen.
I had a similar problem on my Sony, before it went back, but its worse (although still bearable) on the Philips.
Is there a way to adjust this in the service menu? Do you think I should call an engineer to look at this??
