Title: One weak area
Product review: With a component video hookup the set allows for an adequate number of aspect ratio adjustments to make the picture fill out the screen to best effect with just about any DVD movie source you can think of.However, if one uses an HDMI hookup with a BluRay player two of the aspect-ratio adjustment options are no longer available. Even the owner's manual acknowledges this, as did a Samsung tech rep I talked with. (He was as mystified by the lack of this feature with the HDMI hookup as I am.) With most DVD and BluRay movies this is no big deal. However, with one DVD I watched today it was, and I had to watch it on my secondary, non BluRay player that is hooked up with the component connection. Without the HDMI hookup I could not take advantage of the upconvert feature my BluRay player offers with standard DVD movies.Otherwise, this is a fine set.
