I recently purchased a Samsung LN52A650 (1080p) television and I have noticed something amiss.

It seems that all of my movies from my cable box (1080i) and stretched the full height of the TV. Movies such as I am legend, 300, and Armageddon are all stretched like this and it’s kind of annoying because I can discern where there should be a thin black bar on the top and bottom of the screen.

I have read the manuals on both the DVR and the TV and nothing is stretched sue to a Picture Mode or anything of the sort.

I even know that one my X-Box 360 in 1080p the screen is stretched to the very top of the TV but that may be correct due to it being a game system.

Any ideas?
