    BeoVision 8-40 image size

    My new BeoVision 8-40 is taking the signal from the Comcast box too literally.  Previous TV, Sony Bravia, dynamically stretched the inbond signal's image to fill the screen no matter what size.

    I cannot find a setting for such a result.  Any ideas?

    Please advise and Happy Holidaze!

    Have you added the soft key [FORMAT] to your Beo4?

    You can use that to reshape your viewing experience:

    e.g. [FORMAT] + 3 gives me a good FOXTEL image

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

    It depends on the input signal. I was used to this stretching from my former Samsung LCD. The first days with my Bv8-40 were somehow strange as 4:3 was just 4:3 and not stretched to 16:9.

    Now I would not like this stretching back. I use format 3 and this is perfect for me.

    With us cable, much easer to use the cable box remote to tell the cable box how to handle the signal via it's own settings menu. Ex. Settings~> video settings ~>480p~> options. Then you pick what to do with each the signal. I tend to leave all signals as broadcasted, and only the use beo4 to zoom with format 2, usually. FWIW, when I get confused on settings, I get everything back to default , use the cable box to handle all signal and configuration settings, then hide the cable box remote.

    I have my comcast cable box set to "native" output.  I don't want the cheap cable box messing with the signal fed to my expensive TV.  In fact, I replaced my cable box and got weird green shadows on some shows until I set the cable box output to native (it may have been 480i or 480p by default).

    I haven't changed the "format" setting of my tv, but, with the hdmi input, it automatically resizes based on the input.  I don't think it is just stretching either, or, perhaps it stretch algorithm is different than my previous TV .  It seems to be zooming in as well.  My only negative is that it takes a few seconds when I change channels that are not the same resolution.
