I purchased one of these, and the aspect ratio on the screen is not correct. There is a black bar on the top and bottom of the picture: How to fix

I haven't had that problem. As Marjorie said, the screen shows exactly what's on tv.

Okay, you might have your format ratio set to either zoom or super zoom.. On your remote, change the format to 'gray bar' (or normal) and see if that clears up your problem.. As the hand-held is not a wide screen, the wide screen on your main TV (through the cable remote) is causing this .. Just return to your former setting when the hand held is not in use.

Ours did not have this problem. It sounds like a defect. See about exchanging.

Sorry... Never had the problem but then we do not use the device on a consistent basis.

IT will have the black bar when you are watching HD tv on your cable box. Go down to the lower channels on your box and it will be fine

Mine puts on the screen exactly what's on the TV. If it's HD, it fills the screen but,if not, it leaves black spaces all around the picture. I hope this helps but I don't think it answers your exact question.

It sounds like there is a prob with the pixels.. i would return it, and get a replacement.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

Same here. I don't have the right graphics card in my laptop, so the monitor didn't work well for me. Poor resolution. Since it would cost $160 shipping to return it, I am going to get a new graphics card. Vendor tech support has been helpful. Check the specs first!

You have to match the model numbers on the back of the screens. The screen size and pixels may be the same, but there are several different model types. Without knowing that part, I would say don't buy it.

I don't have the exact screen. Mine is an airbright3d model. Just downloaded a 3d game. I am amazed with the picture quality on the screen.

Hi Tkh,I had the same problem as well. I got 3 black lines across the screen. I wonder how long does it take for them to replaced the lcd screen. At the same day? Thanks.

I'm not sure, but all my movies are widescreen. it'll have the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

I am not real happy with this antennea. I am constantly have to adjust it. And sometimes (alot of the time I have a black screen)I don't recommend it.

Very interested in your method. I found that aspect ratio for original resolution is 4:3, which means that it will distort your image when the screen is 16:9. Do you experience the same problem when you use DVI to HDMI cable.

Same problem -- that is so unbelievable stupid that I have to change the resolution. They should upconvert!

Out of the box, the TV settings are "vivid". At the very least you'll want to set it to "standard" under picture settings/picture mode. This wont fix the black problem by itself, but then under advanced settings there are a couple of adjustments that will, namely "gamma" and "black corrector". Play with these a bit and you'll get better black detail. If you'd like a full listing of user calibration settings for viewing in a darkened room, here is a link that will give you those presets. Try them, and if you like it, you're done! Otherwise, play around a bit with the settings I mentioned to achieve the desired results. Here's the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10060430-1.html?tag=mncol;txt I hope you find this helpful, I'm using these settings myself and am pretty happy with the results. Be warned, however, once you reveal black detail, you may notice unevenness in the black uniformity of the screen. Good Luck!

my picture does not fill screen the entire way either. It is 4" on each side.

Hi sir, Unfortunately I can't help you because I ordered this item but the company never delivered it. I got a full refund tho.I've bought a black screen and a white one as well and it's not completely opaque but it works well against a wall for example.

Hello there....sorry to hear that you are having issues. I bought mine for my son. He told me that he is using the factory settings, default, and the picture looks great. try using the default settings, if that does not work you may want to return it. Hope this helps....good luck.

Never had this problem. Look at your settings on the computer for display size. Sorry I can't help. Contact the manufacturer it must be sa simple fix.
