Picture is not full screen - Toshiba 19HLV87 19 in. LCD HDTV

Check its picture aspect ratio settings.

if you are using a cable box or satellite,make sure those are also set to full mode..If tv only receives normal (16:9) etcc..then it will only display that..moset sources nowadays also have a picture mode ...

16X9 is full screen on HD sets--usually determined by either the settings or a box if one is used---some older sets HD only have 4X3 which is not full screen.

If the signal is component or HDMI from a box= it determines what picture size may or may not be set to.

Hi, Turn your TV on, select the menu and see if there is something in picture settings (wide screen or full screen) Try to connect a DVD player using HDMI cable. See if there is any difference.
Some DVD players will also have screen sizing. If nothing helps contact TV repair. Good luck

Hello

To get the picture full screen come to screen aspect ratio settings.

The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image of a 4:3 picture

is displayed on your 16:9 screen. The options are Normal, Zoom or Stretch. If

your TV receives an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image can be displayed in

one of three ways:

Normal The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with black bars on the
right and left sides of the screen

To get ito this setting mode
Enter the main menu and go to preferences select the screen format; option-2; and change the settings to get a full picture.
OK.

just look at the owners manual of how to adjust the picture

go into your customers setting and change you aspect setting to either full or auto

> For HD you have to have a square screen
Sorry to disagree; the standard screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3, this is far more 'square' than the 16:9 (aka 'wide screen') which is standard for HDTV. If you are on cable or satellite service, you may well have to pay extra to have the whole of your screen available for viewing.
That is why only 'over the air' broadcasts are absolutely affected by the change from analog to digital next February but other sources do not have to change over to the new standard and the 4:3 sets will work fine without any extra box until those sources decide to 'go digital.'
 

in order to get the full HD experience you should be using HDMI cables. if you're using the white/red/yellow cables then your HD channels will not broadcast in full HD and you'll be stuck with the annoying black things around your screen

sounds like the dvd players set for differant picture format like full screen compared to wide screen settings. Look in the Menu of the tv as well as the dvd player
