Go to settings, picture and make sure the "fit to screen" is turned on. When watching some movies, there will be some black bar on top and bottom. If it's doing that on regular tv. That's a problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Nothappy, many films have a different aspect ratio than 16:9 which is the TV production standard. This is a creative decision made by the production company who created the content you are watching, often to create a more "cinematic" experience. There is no way to show those without black bars unless you (a) zoom the picture in, cutting off the sides, or (b) stretch the picture vertically, making all people look thin which is rarely supported by the streaming platforms.
