[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 54222, member: 134"] Exactly, they wouldn't. And again, they wouldn't solve the problem with Zen, because it needs 720p. If no 720, it drops down to 480i (the only game I've ever come across to do that). As for the model of my tv, it's a Pioneer Elite Pro510 HD. There is a way to adjust the overscan in the service menu, but it's extremely easy to brick the tv in that menu, as it is nothing but code. Even if I was successful with that, I'd have to do a readjust on the gamma. The other way to fix it is to raise the 3 guns up 1 inch. That involves refocusing and a complete fix on the geometry of the set. Believe me guys, I've investigated. Over on the AVS Forum there is an entire thread on my TV, over 500 pages long. RPTV ownership turned out to be something for a hobbiest, as I should have been recalibrating the picture every other year, cleaning the optics every year, and now my black level needs resetting. It could look absolutely stunning if I had the calibration equipment, or hired the one guy left in the country who is still willing to touch these sets. He's up in Frisco, and the quote he gave me to fix my set up brand new was $1400. Sure, I paid $5500 for it 12 years ago, but c'mon. Or for 2 grand I could get me a 70" 3D SmartTV. Not that I can afford that right now either though. Unfortunately for me, I'm kinda a stickler about what my next TV will be. My 53 incher looks small in my big living room.
