Despite this some people still have trouble getting full screen to work. The
problem is that once they select a full screen mode, such as 131 in the
example above, the image gets cropped off the edges of the screen. So their
options are to have black bars on screen, or not be able to view the entire
screen. This does seem to be an issue with the TV however but I remain
unsure of the actual cause (TV rescalling issue?, bad setup?, image is
zoomed in?, using component vs HDMI?)
