As much as I hate non-anamorphic material, I always run into it once in a while.


I've only had my new 2910 for a week and can tell you this is THE ONE until HD. I love everthing about it but I thought, unlike the 1910, it would properly scale and fully display non-anamorphic material on a widescreen display. I've been through the manual and menu's a zillion times and came to the conclusion it cannot be done on my Benq 8700.


Writing this is my last effort to see if I missed something and someone knows but I assume at this point it IS like the 1910. It's not THAT big of a deal, I avoid non-anamorphic stuff for the most part.

Sorry, I do not have the answer, but I do have a question since I know someone who may be interested in the Benq. What display modes does the Benq have? My Sharp 10K has a standard mode for 4x3 material, stretch for 16x9, smart stretch for filling the widescreen with 4x3 with the least amount of distortion, and cinema zoom for properly expanding non-anamorphic dvds. I don't use any of the features from within the DVD player for fitting the image to the screen.

I dont know if will work, however have you set the 4:3 squeeze mode and then tried zooming?

Yes. It only zooms in the 4x3 area.


The Benq has Anamorphic, Letterbox, and 4:3 settings (plus a couple more, actually). However, with DVI input, it will only do 4:3 or Anamorphic, that is why I was hoping the player would compensate.
