if I run a widescreen dvd on a 640x480 panel, will any of the image get cut off, will I lose any scan lines, or will the image just get compressed so that I have black bars on the top and bottom?
Yes you will get the black bars like mentioned before but last week I stumbled across some people that are try to make an anamorphic lens to put in front of their PJ. It's basically a lens that squishes the image either horizontally or vertically, but not both. With that, you can scale a 16:9 movie to use the entire 4:3 screen format and then it's squished back down to look proper. A media player like Media Player Classic will allow you to stretch any movie to fill the whole LCD, just making a good anamorphic lens is the current challenge... try doing some searches on this if you are interested.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but this seems a good on-topic post to bring this up. I have an Ask Impact WSX and a widescreen movie looks 1000% better than a 4:3 full screen. For some reason video in the bottom and the top of the panel (and also on a QA-2500 and QA-1650 I own) doesn't look very good. The contrast ratio and brightness is off on the extreme top and bottom. Blacks and greys just run together.
We just watched "Yours, Mine, and Ours" in 16:9 and the movie was perfect. The contrast ratio of my Ask Impact (100:1) was FANTASTIC. I could distinguish easily between blacks and dark greys and the overall picture was brighter and more uniform. Has anyone else noticed this and can anyone explain it?

On my 8" Hami I also noticed that the top portion of my screen has less contrast.... and it completly baffles me as to why. I'm glad to know its not only me having this issue. at first i thought it was a defective LCD. But guess Not.
What I've noticed is that a completely black screen is not uniformly black. The top and bottom edges are lighter. I think this is what gives it less contrast. Does anyone know why this happens. As I said before, its not just my Ask Impact WSX. The QA-2500 and QA-1650 did the same.
Mine is exactly the same as u discribed only it only appears on just the top ....which happens to me furthest away from all the LCD-Controller connection... I wonder if the signal disipates...... no clue really
Hi,
I have A Proxima 810 panel that seemed to have more light at the top of the screen causing blacks to look gray just on the very top. I took the panel apart and noticed that the inner glass was held to the LCD with a factory black tape that had come loose over time and was allowing extra residual light on to the panel. I put black electricians tape around the edge of glass over the factory tape and it corrected the problem.
