Samsung LN 53A550 Image size

use the 'format' button or 'size' button on your remote to switch between the different viewing modes. Keep in mind that if the show being broadcast isn't in a widescreen format you will either be stretching the image on screen sideways to fill, or you will be cutting off the top and bottom edges in order to fill the screen without any image distortion.

please provide the maker & the model & part # of your unit..


Thank you
