Hi all-
I've decided to enter the world of HDTV and have my sights on the Panasonic PT-47WX49. I know it's cheap but I've heard it's a good introductory TV.
I went to Sears to check out the TV in person and noticed when you watch TV in 4:3 mode, the bars on the side are white. I asked the salesman if this can be changed to gray or black and he said no because it burns the image into the TV and can ruin it. I thought to myself "Isn't it the exact opposite? Wouldn't white burn before gray or black?" Sure enough, I did some research and confirmed the salesman had no idea what he was talking about.
My question is: is there a way to change this from white to gray/black? I've heard you can do some tweaks to make this happen but haven't had any luck finding it. So now I turn to you guys. Thanks!
Chris
