What's your favorite viewing mode on your widescreen tv?
Just got a new Sony KP57HW40 widescreen and have been fooling with their wide modes--normal, full, wide and wide zoom. So far I like the full mode the best for anamorphic dvds. How about you guys?

I'm sure this is a hardware related but my Mitsubishi has Standard for anamorphic material, Expand for non-anamorphic, Zoom, Stretch, and 4:3. I use all but the zoom.

Is there somewhere I could view a picture of a regular TV show (non-widescreen) on a widescreen TV in Full mode? I've been thinking about getting one and just wonder if it looks funny or not.

I think that each HDTV manufacturer has their own terminology. On my Toshiba, I have: Normal, Theaterwide1, Theaterwide2, Theaterwide3, Full
For widescreen DVDs (anamorphic or not): FULL
For 4:3 DVDs: One of the Theaterwide modes...depends upon the disc.
For 4:3 TV: Theatrewide 1.
For widescreen DVDs (anamorphic or not): FULL
For 4:3 DVDs: One of the Theaterwide modes...depends upon the disc.
For 4:3 TV: Theatrewide 1.

I have a Toshiba 50H81. On my TV, I use the following modes:
Theaterwide 1: for regular 4:3 TV
Theaterwide 3: for non-anamorphic
Full: for anamorphic sometimes
But the funny thing is, sometimes the Full mode actually cuts off the bottom of the picture sometimes. What's up with that?

I've seen several threads discussing the problems of burn-in on widescreen TVs. Do any of you experience that as long as you view your regular TV programs in these various modes? Just curious...
