Re: BluRay > HDDVD

Ewill, if your 4x3 set is newer, there may be menu settings for dealing with the incoming signal's aspect ratio. But nothing is going to really fix the problem until you get a widescreen monitor.

I have a Panasonic 1080p plasma, an Oppo 1080p upconverting DVD, and a Motorola cable box, and I'm doing all HDMI through a Yamaha receiver. It all works like a champ; no HDCP HDMI repeater problems. I can give you model numbers if you want. Although at this point, you may want to hold off on a DVD player. It's looking like the BlueRay / HD-DVD wars are almost over, based on what's coming out of CES.
