The first two things I would have done, if I actually did the research, was Google "Olevia zoom" after reading the red flags at Amazon. Then I would have seen the first two links returned telling me again that the zoom didn't work.

Then I would not have bought it and would have avoided all this hassle.

Also, moving forward in your research, please do the math so you don't end up trapped again. 16:9 works out to 1.78 ratio. The resolution of the 30" is 1280x768 (1.6666). That's 15:9, not 16:9.

The real 16:9 should have resolution 1280x720 (oliva 27") or 1366x768 (Oliva 32").

So, I also suppose you can go after them that way. Good luck... and please research more thoroughly going forward. ^
