Huh? Zooming a 4:3 image while maintaining aspect ratio is
not physically impossible. I have a 57" Hitachi RPTV that does this quite nicely.
Reports on the quality and features of televisions are something for which I generally go to Home Theater web sites. The Syntax TVs are mostly well received given their price points. The Amazon reviews also showed them as a good value. But once you've read a dozen or more positive reviews, you most likely come to the conclusion that what you're purchasing is OK.
For cryin' out loud, I'd
already examined the owner's manual of the TV before I purchased it . . . it had the feature I wanted listed. Why should I disbelieve it, and more importantly, why should I be given grief by the vendor when the product does not perform as documented?
