I would assume you have a picture mode control, that isn't set correct. I have a HD projector and use their test whenever I rent a disc that has this test. I think you have to set your dvd to 4.3 letterbox to get this correct. This setting will give you bars, but your picture geometry will be correct.--- This was the second biggest reason I chose a projector.
THX Video Optimizer
Hi,
I just bought a new TV. I put on a DVD with the THX Video Optimizer. My TV (Samsung 32" hi-def) failed the 4:3 Circle with Rectangle test. The outside rectangle's left verticle line is missing. Actually, it looks like it is about 1/2" off the screen- so my TV's picture is not centered. Worse, it does not have a horizontal control I had two friends do the same test and their TVs (Sony 32" and a RCA) both failed the same test. Has anyone had any experience with this test? What was your result?
Thanks,
Richard
