Screen seems too big?

I think somebody already mentioned...

Gotta check your SAT STB settings and make sure you are not using an aspect from there.

Mixing aspects can create a confusing mess. Both display and STB need to be in 16:9 only for everything to be correct. From there determine which source needs aspect controls for you. With DVD or games this should be rare. With SAT and SD content aspect changes are common in which case I would suggest leaving the TV in 16:9 all the time and do your aspect changes for SAT with the SAT STB and SAT remote.

Well, it turns out that it DOES happen with some DVD's, but it is much less noticeable. I noticed something weird about video games. When in pix1, they seem to have much larger black bars than normal, so that when in pix2, it fits the screen perfectly, so Richard was right, and now I feel stupid. I'll deal with for now, but thanks for the help everybody!

so Richard was right, and now I feel stupid

C'mon... ignorance, what you didn't know that you didn't know, is nothing to be embarrassed about. I have been dealing with that on a regular basis my whole life!

Who doesn't?

Would it make any difference which cables I was using? Like, would it make any difference if I was using HDMI instead of component?

Not for an aspect ratio problem...

I'm a bit late n this game but I too have this problem. I took the covers off yesterday to check internally.
All older TVs had interior controls.. height, width, verticle linearity, vert sync , horizontal sync,, focus..

This TV has focus,, and only one other control, mouted on the crt board..I doubt it will help as two are neaded.
I have about a half inch over scan..
Cure would be to get the schematic and figure out the resistors that control height and width..
Then replace them with a small variable pot and tweak the size....
Suprisingly this set is all discrete components,(mostly) no hundred pin chips.
$16 for the schematic.
Don...
Its not really rocket surgery, and the logic boards are wide open and easy to work on..
