I've owned a 57" Sony RP that it still in excellent condition....great tv, but I replaced it with the newer Sony Bravia 55" SXRD....better than LCD and DLP, but not quite the plasma level....nice in between. This weekend I added a Blu-Ray player and my fuckin mind was blown. I already have a 7.1 home theatre system from Sony (not the best, but I love it) and that coupled with the new 1080p Bravia and the Blu-Ray blew my fuckin mind.

On a sidenote, for those now purchasing HDMI cables for their sets DO NOT purchase any of the fuckin Monster cables. Now, the cables themselves are excellent, but the price is ridiculous...this is the one of hte rare cases in electronics in which you don't get what you pay for. Go to monoprice.com and buy your cables there. I've read all the comparison studies by techy guys and their ain't a lick of difference between a $150 HDMI cable by Monster and my outstanding $12 cable from monoprice.....I've purchased 2 HDMIs from them and they're fantastic. My friend paid $100 for one Monster HDMI and their isn't a bit of difference in quality between his $100 HDMI and my $12 HDMI. I also buy all my speaker wire from Home Depot....12AWG Carol wire that's shielded for in-wall runs is excellent....haven't had a single glitch....again stay away from Monster speaker wire...overpriced and doesn't deliver anymore.

I'm sure you tv or dvd player has full or zoom setting that would eliminate the letter boxing.

It does, but it cuts off just a little bit of the screen. If its TOO letterboxed I zoom, but an inch or two is no biggie. Actually I am still playing with it, I may get it to work perfect yet.

i bet the name "monster" was what attracted you to those cables to begin with!

I bought some 49 dollar cables for my DVD player and I use whatever cables came free with my cable. My Hi_Def cable blows my DVD out of the water in terms of quality.

I was playing with it and the controller has a button that says format. That changed it to 16:9 wide expand or something, much better.

if you leave it on that it should adjust to the format

I am glad you posted this. I am so tech-dumb I would have never even looked. Here is how I was watching my shows, compared to how I am now. It literally gives me about 14 more inches diagonally.

I have one of each actually, a 52" plasma and a 42" LCD. I think the Plasma is better for movies but I like to play the xbox360 on the LCD, just seems a little brighter and clearer to me for that
