Hello Best Buy customer gelboy and thank you for asking this question as this issue has really affected my viewing experiences with these newer TVs as well! First, I would encourage you to just accept that the quality of your TV program viewing experience mostly depends on the "source" of the TV show broadcast. As I am sure that you are already aware of, after you change channels, on the top/right of of the screen you will see 480i, 720i, or 1080i--with this TV, anyway. With older (i.e., more classic) programs, in particular, many times there will be blacked out areas on the left and right vertical sides or on the top and bottom; however, this is not across the board. Also, sometimes with the older broadcast offerings, they will be more blurry. There are times that programs baring the label of 720i can have blacked out areas as well. There are also so very many times when a 720i broadcast can look as good as a 1080i broadcast and there are even times when a program baring the label of 480i can completely fill the screen and possess pretty good clarity. For a very long time, TV viewing with these newer televisions was a "wrestling" match for me. As I surfed from station to station (i.e., when needed), I would depress the picture size (i.e., p-size) button and constantly readjust the picture settings--like if the broadcast image did not fit the screen I would select the "CINEMA" setting so that there would be no blacked areas. In so doing, the blurriness would increase significantly and large parts of actors' bodies or things in the scene would be cut off. I found it best to use the TV's remote and click onto the MENU button and then scroll over to the HELP column and click onto the word HELP and then scroll down to "RESET TO DEFAULT" and complete that process. Because I only use an indoor HDTV antenna for program viewing, I need to conduct a re-scan of my channels and start all over with set up--as if I just purchased the TV. After doing that (in answer to your question), I find it best to select "WIDE" for the picture size setting and just "LEAVE" it there! In so doing, I get the best "coverage" of the screen on the most consistent basis and I don't believe that the imagery is "distorted" that much, say, by making the actors, etc. look too wide. The issue you present is a big one gelboy as over the years there have been many changes in technology and transmission of TV broadcast signals so things don't always work in harmony--as one would like. I hope that my answer helps you and others gelboy. Happy TV program viewing with this great TV!
