Posting here as well....

Yesterday I bought after some long consideration a HDTV upgradeable Mtsubishi 55" (55411). I really like the quality and all the different features it offfers. Picture is very good but I have a few questions that worries me an really is making me reconsider my options.

I bought a big screen TV due to the "Movie experience". Most DVD's today are Widescreen so I thought that this will be the greatest fit. What I didn't realize is that regular Widescreen still displays black bars on the top and bottom and Anamorphic fills the entire screen. The regular widescreen I have to "expand" the screen to make it fill the screen thus loosing some quality on the side but not much.

Here are my concerns and frustrations. ..

It is stated very solid in the manuals that you should try to stretch the screen most of the time to fill the entire screen so burn in won't happen.
"Please limit viewing of letterbox or black bars to only 15% per week to avoid damage to your TV"

- What the hell is this? I don't really understand. Is this just a suggestion or are they really serious that I should still expand every widescreen movie that is not anamorphic? Quality doesn't go down much but I think it looks better still with the top bars. On top of this all my old SVCD movies are displayed wrong as well. They can't even me expanded out but of course they are 480x480 so I understand why there is a problem there. I guess if I watch one of those movies per week I will be ok.

Please let me know about your experiences with this and also to you that have this version of the MItsubushi if this was a great choice or if I should return it to just buy a 38" tube widescreen! (I think 38" is the largest they do in a tube)
