Anybody own this set? I've had it for about a year, and I really like the picture. However...
I've tried playing a progressive-scan DVD through the set's component inputs, and all I get is a vertically "squashed" picture, something like a severe letterbox. The aspect ratio control on the set doesn't work in this mode, only when you input composite video.
I've also tried running the signal from a DVDO iScan Pro through the set--same results.
I had a local RCA service technician come out and look at the set. He contacted the factory, who were absolutely no help (any surprise there?). He tried replacing one of the circuit boards, thinking that it might be defective, but no help. Luckily all of this was covered under warranty.
Right now, all I can do is run composite video into the set's composite video input, which is then line-doubled internally. But since the set has no 3-to-2 cinema pulldown, the resulting image has a lot of "jaggies." Short of buying a $3000 video scaler, are there any suggestions on how to solve this?
