can you change the position of the pip or is it only in one spot? and if so where on the tv does the box for pip appear?

You can change the pip. All corners and middle. You can also adjust the size of the picture

Im sorry to say it does not have built in pip,but if you have a digital box from your cable or satalite provider it might have a picture in picture option. Other than that it is a great tv. The picture and audio quality is very good for a small living room or bedroom. I have no complaints about this tv. It has 3 hdmi inputs to suit all your devices, which is great for a tv at this price point. Also its 1080p and made in the U.S.A. honestly that sold me.

I am installed with a Sharp television, and "NO", I haven't found a way. Agree with you on the inconvenience.

If you are a big multi-signal user (game consoles, TV, Blu ray player, etc) the Sony's Twin Picture feature allows you to use PiP with multiple different sources. Very useful for playing a game while watching a movie or TV/sports. The Sony Twin Picture also includes PoP while the Samsung only has PiP and it can only be used with the coaxial input. Also, the Samsung uses a single hybrid input for composite and component while Sony has one component input and one hybrid so you can have more devices connected to the Sony. Personally, my w900a is the single greatest TV I have ever seen and I've owned several LCD's. If you are a gamer go with the Sony no question.

I put mine in frames and was able to use the existing piping. Depending on what size the piping is, you may need to go smaller, as the screen is thicker than ordinary screen. But it worked for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks drhey19, this is very helpful. I am thinking of buying a second unit and I thought they booth looked like the same thing. (I was worried because the DTVPal disappeared from the market for a long time.)

I've had several situations and will describe each:1. I had digital cable in Tampa. A very sharp Tech got my samsung PIP to work on all stations on both reg and pip. He used a splitter with one side to antenna input 1 and the other to antenna #2. He ran a channel setup on both. This provides digital to one side and analog to the other.I now have satellie and cable. Obviously this is 2 separate inputs and is an easy fix. But there must be an easier way. Since satellite is all digital, fixing this will be very problematic. It's amazing to me that these great TVs with this great capability without an easy fix. It's not like satellite is a new concept. Plus, the selection of pip is awfully difficult. I've had several situations and will describe each:1. I had digital cable in Tampa.

Yes. You just need to change your display to show it. Place your finger on any box and hold it down. A menu will come up and select what you want.

My unit gets used daily and is working well. I set it up on installation and have no need to make adjustments however I vaguely recall manually selecting "toggling" through various options. I do not recall the option to input specific horizontal / vertical adjustments. There were many preset options and I eventually found the perfect resolution for my 50" display.

You need to change it in the display settings. The computer doesn't automaticity know how your screen is oriented.

Was told that I can only get full cable on the main picture and then basic cable (i.e. the free channels) on the PIP - not what I was expecting at all.

Dear friend, thank you for your question. There is a switch "S-VIDEO/CVBS" on the back of this converter. Please turn it to the correct side. For example, when you use S-video output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "S-VIDEO", the left side. When you use AV (CVBS) output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "CVBS", the right side. In addition, there is a "PAL/NTSC" switch. Please swtich it to both sides to have a try. Hope that this will be helpful. Have a nice day! Best regards,KeedoxMaria

Unfortunately, no it does not. I'm not really sure why they left the Pip feature off the tv. You can watch tv in the upper hand corner when your browsing the web though, but as far as dual operating screens they did not add that feature. It is a pretty good tv though. Hope that helps.

the PIP on the a550 is lame. i own one and you can only use PIP with one of the pictures being from your dvd player.

It sort of has PIP. If you have multiple HDMI inputs you can watch one input in the corner of another but not from the same source.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws.Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

No, I don't think so. We used to have pip in our old television....we hardly ever used it. This picture is too beautiful to complicate it with another picture.
