[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 469237, member: 24160"] Good work Bry exploring the TV settings - that's one that is almost impossible to do long distance because every manufacturers menus vary so significantly and even within a manufacturers product line. Often the difference in price between the same size units within a manufacturers line will be primarily the menu options and settings available. For others experiencing the top &/or bottom being cut off on their TV - our Mac's have a 16:10 aspect vs. the 16:9 of all the TV's. Don't know why if you're setting it up to send a 16:9 resolution why it does this on TV's, but it sometimes does. If you have a menu option for auto detect as Bryphoto on his, this will work. The other area this may be adjusted on some TV's menus is called Overscan. lilmatt01 - what change did you make to fix the aspect ratio in case someone else runs into the same issue? (Am still looking into the shut down problem) As to burn in on your plasma - the plasma manufacturers have made great strides in this area and it is not nearly so significant as it was even 2-3 years ago, although it is something to be cautious about. Have not done any personal testing with plasmas as I have opted for the LCD route for the replacement of all my TV's.
