4:3 HD picture size (for 720p, 1080i, and 1080p program sources only)

Sidebars fill the empty vertical spaces.

Picture is not distorted from original size.

Native picture size (for 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signal programs)

If receiving a 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signal program, Native mode scales the video to display the entire picture within the borders of the screen (i.e. no overscanning).

This is especially useful for external HD sources such as HD-DVD, DVHS movies, or PC graphics.

Note:

Native picture size is available for 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals only. If the signal being received is other than 1080i, 1080p, or 720p, “Native” will be grayed out in the Picture Size screen.

This mode is supported only for HDMI and ColorStream inputs.

Depending on the input signals, the border of the picture may be hidden, displayed in black, or noisy.
