Vlame: at least your tv seems to be quite friendly and compatible with a Dreamcast/vga setup :)

Just saw news that Vizio is coming out with an ultra-widescreen TV

It'll display movies with a 2.35:1 ratio without any black bars. I'm in the market for a second TV (currently have a 52" Samsung that is 3 years old). I was hoping to get a 70" but I might want to get an ultra wide screen instead.

Heh... That's nice and all, but what about full screen content. That'll look incredibly goofy.

7. The video image can only be converted into black and white
it isn't a real convertor. Looks like it just hooks composite to the luma channel of svideo, so you're just going to get black and white in either direction.

how is the audio? i got my daughter a 22 in led and the sound is horrid. like there are headphone speakers in there. at least there is a audio out headphone port for a pc speaker system in the one i got to improve it. i guess you got the better deal, about 80 bucks and and a worthless tv.
