Imo Refurb Soyo 32IN LCD Tv HDtv 1366X768 1200:1 16:9 Blk Nortn
This Probably Does Have Widescreen Mode
I don't own this TV, but reviewer 'beaboo' may lack sufficient technical knowledge, and panned this TV out of ignorance. I sincerely doubt that a widescreen 16:9 TV lacks widescreen capabilities. I'm confident that if you feed this TV a widescreen signal via its high-definition inputs (component or HDMI), it will display a widescreen image just fine. I do agree that this TV may not properly handle a 4:3 image that has black bars across the top and bottom, but this is 'fake' widescreen, where the black bars are actually part of a standard 4:3 signal (examples: 'widescreen' VHS tapes, analog TV broadcasts, and perhaps some standard DVDs). It's possible that certain HD-ready TVs may handle such a situation better than this Soyo. But feed it a true high-definition signal (via satellite, cable, computer, HD DVD, or upsampling DVD player) and I'll bet you it displays the image correctly.
