The author of the linked article mentioned that the 16:9 mode that the Zenith has is not useful. I have to disagree. I have this hooked up to my 12-year-old Toshiba 4:3 CRT in my bedroom. I went online and found how to get into the "service mode" of the TV and squished its vertical size to approximate 16:9.

This also means the DVD player in the bedroom can also be set to 16:9 and get the extra 20% of vertical resolution. (A wide-screen movie has to drop out over 5th vertical line on a 4:3 TV to display in the correct aspect ratio. By forcing the TV into 16:9 mode, I get the full vertical resolution of the DVD.)]]>Jun 29th 2008 9:38PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/29/three-more-dtv-converter-boxes-get-reviewed-compared/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/29/three-more-dtv-converter-boxes-get-reviewed-compared/Jun 30th 2008 4:22AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/29/three-more-dtv-converter-boxes-get-reviewed-compared/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/29/three-more-dtv-converter-boxes-get-reviewed-compared/I also ordered a DISH DTV Pal because of the good reviews and has a better (several days longer) channel guide.
