This is the distortion you are seeing.

On non-HD content black bars on the sides are often visible when viewed with a 16:9. The black bars on a plasma screen don't suffer the same amount of wear that the lit portion of the screen does and after awhile the parts that are often black are noticably "brighter" in appearance.

Here's a Fujitsu document (PDF format) on the subject:

Adelphia - Is it working now?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8805545 Tue, 16 Dec 2003 17:19:50 EDT Re: santa monica Ca hdtv??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8805505 IPPlanMan : When you have a TV that supports HDTV such as a 16:9 Plasma, does the image get crunched/squashed if you watch a Non-HDTV channel? One thing I've noticed is that when I've seen regular (or digital source) broadcasts on those 16:9 TV's (Plasmas) at the TV/Video store, the image looks flattened and out of proportion height-wise. That's why I've never gotten one... Am I completely wrong on this? Or was the TV just totally misconfigured? They always seem to have the TV's at these stores on some HDTV feed that's not live, and when I've switched it to regular tv, the image looks all out of whack. Would I have that problem/scenario on Adelphia's system?

Worst things: no Fox or CBS

Double worst thing: no ESPN-HD]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8800478 Tue, 16 Dec 2003 03:58:56 EDT Re: santa monica Ca hdtv??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8800286 anon : Have had it for about a month. You get a shiny new Motorola 5100 Cable Box, ABC, NBC, and PBS, for $9.95/mo.

If you subscribe to HBO and/or Showtime, you get the HD versions of those at well at no extra charge.

You can easily hook it up even if you have Tivo. There's a bit of switching back and forth from watching HD to watching Tivo (via my remote) but not too bad.

Best things on HD: Monday Night Football, tons of stuff on PBS, Alias on ABC.

Worst things: no Fox or CBS ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8800286 Tue, 16 Dec 2003 02:46:46 EDT santa monica Ca hdtv??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8790236 valuepac0 : does anyone have HD in santa monica.
