blu ray player black screen image
Spencer
I have a 40 inch tv and a blu ray player. They both work great just netflix movies play in widescreen. Is there any way to fix this? The only movie that played in fullscreen blu ray was spiderman 2.
Answer
BluRay players will normally try to give you OAR - Original Aspect Ratio.
If you pop in a modern TV show on a BluRay disk - it should exactly fill your screen because HD TV shows were shot in exactly 16:9 ratio.
But movies - are shot in dozens of different ratios. This will produce black-bars on most HDTV's and the size of the bars will vary based on the movie.
Most televisions have a "Aspect" button that will zoom in and stretch the image to fill the screen.
The down side is if the camera pans you will get a "fish eye" effect as the center of the screen is not stretched as much as the edges - but it will fill the screen.
Check your TV remote or the TV setup menu. The better televisions will 'remember' that HDMI2 needs to be zoomed in.
Hope this helps.

Just purchased a Samsung LN-T4066F tv and wondering if anyone knows the ideal calibration settings for it?
Scat Man
I purchased the tv from Best Buy yesterday with the Blu-Ray player and they told me for the BestBuy tech team to calibrate it would cost me another $300! Wondering if anyone has the same tv who has had this calibrated by them or found the ideal calibration setting online?
Answer
Most of todayâs better quality modern fixed-pixel displays, such as Samsungâs HD TVs, have specific modes and/or settings that provide (very) good gray-scale and CIE âD65â color performance out of the box, better than the displays manufacturerâs offered to consumers not too long ago. The optimal settings will always vary from one display to another and will equally vary depending on your viewing environment; the best you will be able to do without using measurement equipment is to get your settings âinto the ballpark.â
When it comes to normal color vision, unless you have some sort of side-by-side visual reference for color accuracy, such as a high quality, professionally calibrated display or a calibrated (color critical) âreference gradeâ professional monitor, then, like the vast majority of people, it is very difficult for an average observer to tell if the color or white balance is incorrect. This is particularly true if you take a little time to optimize your display settings for your specific viewing conditions.
The ultimate solution would be a professional calibration of your display; however this is frequently beyond the need and/or budget of the substantial majority of consumers, particularly if oneâs viewing habit is more casual than critical. (Should you ever decide that you need or want a âprofessionalâ calibration, rather than utilizing Best Buyâs Geek Squad service, I believe you would be better served by hiring a knowledgeable, independent, professional calibration expert that has abundant experience; Iâve provided a few links below.)
One cost-effective alternative to a professional calibration is to purchase your own colorimeter, such as the inexpensive models (often less than the cost of a typical professional calibration,) from GretagMacbeth, Datacolor, etc., and learn to calibrate your own display(s).
Regardless, you should rent or purchase one of the display optimization (aka âcalibrationâ) DVDs such as âAviaâ from Ovation Multimedia or âDigital Video Essentialsâ from Joe Kane Productions to properly optimize and maintain your display.

Below Iâve provided the majority of the picture settings needed for the do-it-yourselfer to get the picture fidelity for Samsungâs 6xF Series of LCD HDTVs (including your Samsung LN-T4066F display) in the ballpark. These settings should be used for ALL viewing particularly if color accuracy is valued.
Using either HDMI or analog component video inputs...
First, in the Picture menu set your Samsung display to âMovieâ mode. Again, you should use this âAutomatic Picture Settingâ for all viewing.
The backlight setting should be preferably set to 0â¦, and no higher than 4. This is essential if you wish to maximize the contrast ratio of your display.
Aside from using either of the recommended display optimization DVDs try the following picture settings.
   ⢠Contrast: 85-95
   ⢠Brightness: 45-55
   ⢠Sharpness: 0-20
   ⢠Color: 50-55
   ⢠Tint: 0
Detailed Settings Menu
   ⢠Black Adjust: Off
   ⢠Dynamic Contrast: Off
   ⢠Gamma: between 1 and -3 (Note: the MEASURED gamma value for a âRec.709â compliant HD display should be as close as possible to 2.5)
   ⢠Color Space: Auto
   ⢠White Balance: (Itâs probably best if you leave these settings in their default, centered position unless you have access to a measurement instrument to assist you in setting the proper white balance.)
   ⢠My Color Control: All should be set to the default of 15
   ⢠Edge Enhancement: On (only if Sharpness is kept to an absolute minimum of 20 or less, otherwise set to Off)
   ⢠xvYCC: Off
   ⢠Film Mode: On (for 480i film-based sources only)
   ⢠Game mode: Off
   ⢠Energy Saving: Off
   ⢠Color Tone should be set to âWarm2â
   ⢠Digital NR should be set to âOffâ
Active Color and DNIe are not available in Movie Mode.
Under Screen Size the âaspect ratio controlâ should always be set to âJust Scanâ
