1.85 movie on a 16X9 TV??? HELP

[mattnotis]

Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing that up!

Additionally, some people may not see the black bars on 1.85:1 movies because their TV overscans the edges of the image.

Yeah my TV was overscanning my blus like Monsters, Inc., and after coming to this site and learning more about aspect ratios, I fiddled with the settings and now I've got the whole image.

Yeah, I had that problem too, except my Sony TV doesn't like displaying in 1.85. Every time I do, there is a fine purple line of pixels at the bottom of the screen that is distracting ><

On my sony in the setup menu there is an option that has 3 options & says something like 0, +1, +2 pixels.

It will edge the picture differently on each selection so that might help.

Yeah, mine has something like Normal, Full Pixel (1.85), +1, +2, but once I go Full Pixel i get that line. And an annoying thing is, as soon as the video source changes (1080p to 1080i for example) it will reset back to normal.

My Sony offers:

+1, Full Pixel, Normal, -1, -2

Full pixel is only available with 1080i/p signals over HDMI and component.

+1, which is the same as Full Pixel, is only available for 480i/p, 720i/p and 1080i through the HDMI connection.

Normal simply presents the image as sent over the connection with default overscan for component, S-Video, and composite connections.

-1 and -2 force more overscan of the image.

My all-region player is connected component but since it maxes out at 576p, I can only choose Normal so I get overscan with my import DVDs. I do not have an HDMI connection on my DVD player to test if +1 or Full Pixel is available for 576i/p signals.
