Hi All,
Finally got my Sagem 50", love the set & I am v impressed with picture/functionallity.
My question regards the aspect ratio displayed when watching DVD's.
I have only just noticed an issue, which someone may be able to advise me about. When playing a DVD with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio I expected & observed black bars top & bottom of the picture, However I played Matrix Revolutions the other night (Which the sleeve reports as having a widescreen enhanced 1.85:1 aspect ratio) I expected that this would fill the screen as I thought 1.85:1 was approximatley the same as 16:9 format. However upon watching this title with the DVD input source set as 16:9, I observed black bars top & bottom about 2" in width.
The DVD player I am using is a Daewoo DF-4150P (DVD recorder/VCR Combi). This player is connected via component cable to TV, & player is set to output a progressive scan signal.
Is this a problem with my connection method, the prog scan output of the DVD recorder or a setting I have not made correctly ?
Secondly, I am considering purchasing the Sony DVP-NS76H upscaling DVD player, for watching of movies. If I were to connect this via HDMI outputting at either 720p or 1080i, would it cure the problem ?
Kind regards & thanks in advance
