netken,

In ur case, it is better to pillar box and select wide zoom on your TV. The scalar in ur display is better than what the box is capable of doing.

You "purists" should consider that not all TV enable scaling in HDMI. And if you're using a DVI/HDMI monitor that can do 50Hz, no scaling at all.
Typical.

I am familiar with netken's display, that's the reason I am suggesting to let the display do the scaling.

Astro even in HD cannot be deemed as a purist's dream, the bitrates are low. More so with SD broadcasts.

hi anfieldude,

mine once hook up via HDMI, got only Full, Full 1080 and Panorama

I missed that. I believe Panny is one of the displays that do not scale thru HDMI I suppose. I need to check.
