the picture on my flat screen tv is too wide. all the people look too wide?

Question

We purchased a 46 inch Samsung flat screen TV for Christmas. I think that everything looks wide and squatty--all the people look wider than normal. Is there a setting that I need to change, or am I loosing it? The rest of the family seems to be fine with this distortion. The wideness bothers me.

Answer 1

You need to go into the aspect ratio menu which should come under the picture settings. Press the menu button and select picture settings and change this ratio to 16:9 or Auto. This should adjust the picture so that the image fits the screen better.

Answer 3

relies upon on the component ratio of the DVD. no longer all widescreen DVD's use the comparable ratio, so some could have bars. The ratio for widescreen television's is sixteen:9 and maximum widescreen DVD's are sixteen:9 ensuing in no black bars.

Answer 4

Try checking the settings on the tv. If you have digital cable check the settings on there sometimes it gets set to "stretch".

Answer 5

On your remote there may be a button that says zoom. Press it until the picture is optimal.
