I'm not sure since I can't see, but the guys I know with it, and it's more 
than one, talk something about adds on the screen making the picture smaller 
than it should be or something like that. I forget what they said but there 
are 4 guys I know who all said the same thing and they're really not 
impressed, and these are the die hard TV people, they know everything about 
every movie ever made and stuff, spend more on their TV than I'll spend on 
all the TV's I'll have in my life.
