    32" LCD - Philip/Toshiba/JVC/Sharp

    Hi Richard, I assume you have an widescreen lcd tv and starhub digital box. When you change the aspect ration settings to 4:3 does the first column pixels seem brighter than the rest? Is this a starhub cable box problem (oversampling)? Thanks in advance

    32" LCD - Philip/Toshiba/JVC/Sharp

    For the starhub digital box, you can set the setting for standard/widescreen tv. Default settings for the digial box is standard. So, for those with widescreen lcd tv's, make sure you modify the settings. Picture quality for lcd with digitial cable boxes can be quite good too.
