VIZIO GV42L FHDTV10A User Manual Problem Solution Tips for High-Definition Users. The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content. Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB. However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur. Tips for Letterbox Content Users. Letterboxed (or "Widescreen") versions of DVD movies are most commonly formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The LCD HDTV has the capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. To use this function, press the "ZOOM" key on the remote control and cycle among the available options. 5.3 Telephone & Technical Support Products are often returned due to a technical problem rather than a defective product that may result in unnecessary shipping charges billed to you.
