Thats what we do on our widescreen, it still looks good. I can hardly tell the difference, stuff doesn't look unnaturally wide or anything and nothing is cut off/theres no empty space on the sides.

When you say the TV doesn't have a tuner are you meaning a HDTV Tuner or standard tuner as the specs say it has a NTSC Tuner in it.

If he meant HD tuner, our widescreen just has a regular one, and, as I said, still looks good. Might be able to take a picture of Dish on it to should how the stuff looks when wide, my camera might be able to make it show up. Just say the word.

Well I do think that it would be nice to see a picture of it. And when it says Tuner: NTSC under the connectivity in the specs does that mean a HD or Analog? I would assume it means analog but I'm not sure.

Regards and thanks in advance.

If it doesn't say it's an HD tuner, I'd guess it's analog.
I'll try to take pictures when I get home (I'm grounded, so that makes it hard to get on the computer, I know the password though

).

NTSC is analog, ATSC is High definition.

Here you go. In order, 1 of the guide with flash, 1 without, 1 of Oprah (it was on, ok) with flash, 1 without. Stupid camera makes it look like crap, getting the scan line and making it grainy.

I'll have you know I wasted 10 of my 60 minutes on the computer for you.

Ok thanks that clears up a lot of confusion.

Well I gave this much thought and my idea now is that either I will get the TV that I asked about in the first post or this new one here. If I get the one that I just mentioned it will take a little while longer to get since I have to wait until my birthday to get more money on the other hand this TV has HDMI input and is 20" instead of 19" and has a lot more good reviews. Which TV is better for the price is what I ask you?

Regards

EDIT: Thanks for posting those pictures I just now noticed them. They help me out a lot and thanks for taking 10 minutes out of your time.
