Easier to do when you have a 100"+ projection screen[thumbup] It pisses me off when I'm watching on a small screen and the image is even smaller because of letterboxing, but when the screen is big enough, I don't even notice it. I'll use zoom sometimes when I'm watching on my 4:3 32" hdtv (like watching 24 or prison break), but right now while I'm watching lost, I'm watching in letterbox mode (all the pretty scenery ) I want my receiver back so I can finish catching up on lost on the big screen!
