Comcast remotes generally do not allow you to use the menu option for your TV. Check the Dynex website by entering your model number to find the manual for your tv.
Nope. The picture resolution has to be 1080 to fill the screen completely. Using stretch and zoom will distort the low rez pictures. No option to change resolution on the TV itself.
Should be a botton on your remote that changes that..like normal...Zoom..Full screen.And if your useing a antenna sometimes the pictures not as big as the screen. Try a hd video and see if it plays full screen
Go into menu with remote control & change picture size. Depending on which station you are watching you may have to change it to suit your viewing preference. They transmit in different sizes
You're describing what is called letterbox and pillerbox. Letterboxing is when there are two horizontal bars - one at the top and one at the bottom of the screen with a wide picture between. Pillerbox is when there are two vertical bars - one on the left edge and one on the right edge of the screen with a tall picture between.
The settings on your TV (and on your cable box, satellite box, DVD player, etc.) tell the TV how to display a picture that will not fill the screen completely. If the program source (an older video-taped TV show, non-widescreen version DVD, etc) was not originally "shot" or saved in widescreen format, the TV offers you a choice on how to display the image. They ask if they should stretch or zoom to fill the screen (and you have to deal with the skinny / tall images or lost portions of the picture); or maintain the aspect ratio (not stretching or zooming) by leaving a part of the screen blank (grey or black) by inserting bars left and right or top and bottom of the screen.
Start out by telling the devices that send pictures in a format that matches you TV's screen ratio. I am assuming you've got a wide screen HDTV which would mean it should be set to "16 x 9" (a.k.a. 16:9) ratio display. If you have it set for 4 x 3 (a.k.a. 4:3) you should change it. Look for a setting on your TV that asks about stretching, zooming, etc. as this will be an issue when receiving picture from an off air antenna on your house when a TV station is airing an older, non-wide screen format TV show or movie.
TV signals provided by Cable TV or Satellite provider must be HDTV type signals. If you have the standard TV service (non-HD) no picture sent by them will ever fill the screen. This is because Standard Definition TV (SDTV) is not capable of those types of signals. You will have to bump up your subscription to HDTV service to get full screen pictures.
Hi, Turn your TV on, select the menu and see if there is something in picture settings (wide screen or full screen) Try to connect a DVD player using HDMI cable. See if there is any difference.
Some DVD players will also have screen sizing. If nothing helps contact TV repair. Good luck
sounds like the dvd players set for differant picture format like full screen compared to wide screen settings. Look in the Menu of the tv as well as the dvd player
