Will this tv play full screen movies as a wide screen ?

via iTunes it shows across the entire screen, with the black bars across top and bottom. But I don't ever use it in TV mode. It's strictly a computer monitor for me.....and a good one

First this is a computer monitor not a TV. However, it has a DVI input so I imagine it will play HD TV or wide screen movies full screen but there are no speakers in the monitor.

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

My personal use of this product has been satisfactory. I really cannot answer your reference to a 'horrible widescreen'. DVD of widescreen and standard format work just fine in this player. The viewing experience, as well as the playing of CDs of music, has been enjoyable.

Yes it does....i mean . i really dont know much about tech..........but if you are asking if images from Blu Rays or DVD or HDTV (widescreen format) are displayed in 16:9 or 16:10 ..... the answer is Yes !. Cheers !

Yes, it records in widescreen, and can record in full screen. Its all in the setting.

Thanks Mike!My tv is a wide screen, so I assumed it would fill the entire screen. Your info makes me feel better.

I am not sure as this TV I purchased broke after only 2 years of use. Was not happy as you can imagine. Suggestion, please make sure you purchase a warranty with every single electron you purchase. I purchase from Square Trade. To answer you question, I believe you can streamline movies ?

Yes. You will need to select a different setting for the type of movie/show.

Dont worry, It will be 2D by default. It will only switch to 3D if it detects a source that is 3D compatable. Personally I love mine. Fantastic buy for the price and a great picture.

From looking at the manual it says it does but you must have a compatible 3d display I have a url for a pdf of the manual www.samsung.com/us/business/.../TSST_506AB_leaflet-0711-Edited.pdf I have copied this right from their web site Experience 3D 3D in Full HD is now a reality. With vivid new dimensions in picture depth and crystal-clear images that leap out of your screen, you will be fully immersed in the movies. PowerDVD with support for Blu-ray 3D delivers this in an all new viewing experience. Broad 3D support : PowerDVD delivers Blu-ray 3D to any compatible 3D displays and supports all 3D video file formate.

You can most definitely play movies on it, I convert everything into .avi files though and noticed that it cannot take full HD, like the very large resolutions even if I thought it would but the lower ones like 480 it can take. But that wasn't a problem for me, there's a free software online you can reduce the size of the movies with. I haven't tried mp4 but the box says it would play. Good luck!

That would all depend on the player you download to it. I believe if you put VLC on it that it will.

It will but it only allows up to a certain resolution which will probably not fill your entire tv screen.

You might need to change a seting on your tv, I had to change mine from "Set by program to 16:9" to display widescreen.

Yes, just keep in mind that you will not be able to access network services through the HDMI port, but it will play movies from your local drive just fine. File size doesn't matter. I play 4-6 gb full 1080p MKV files all the time. I highly recommend the MKV container (with H.264 encoding) as you can also use Dolby digital 5.1. It is one of the few formats that works well.

Actually why would someone have an expensive wide screen and watch it at 4:3 is beyond me. It becomes very hard to see and it is like your TV has shrunk. Most recent flat screens will widen it without too much distortion.

Hello FolkFan! I watch movies in widescreen (16:9) format all the time without a problem. Now, keep in mind that I am using an Xbox 360 as the video source and that the Xbox does allow me to output in different formats. I would think that most dvd players you would buy today would have options for widescreen output. I hope this answers the question! -Dave

i couldnt guarantee it but the description says it will, though it has a 3D button instead of a WIDE button. dont know if this will be a problem for you, on my TV i can still access the wide screen feature through the menu button. although my tv is model E422VLE hope this helps
