Just wanted to get some feedback from everyone on what viewing modes they are using for watching DVD movies on the GWII and other Sony sets. I believe all the Sony RPTV's have the same "Full", "Zoom", and "Wide Zoom" modes. I have the 60" GWII.
I use the "Full" mode when watching standard 1.85 movies and this is great and totaly fills the screen. My question is: How are people watching 2.35 aspect ration movies?? Are you watching in "Full" mode or "Wide Zoom"? I had been watching all movies in "Full", but over the weekend started playing with "Wide Zoom" for the 2.35 material. I have been using "Wide Zoom" for watching 4:3 standard TV and have found it to be a very nice filling of the screen.
With "Wide Zoom" and 2.35 movies, it only seems to cut off the top and bottom of the screen, which is black bars anyway. It doesn't seem to distort the right and left sides of the picture. I found that the picture looked good, filling more of the screen than in "Full" mode.
Anyway, just want to see what other people are finding and how they are watching DVD's. Also, I use "Pro" picture mode for movies, I find this to give a great out of the box picture.
