Here's an honest review regarding this unit. This unit was first sold for $219.99. Despite this, I got it for $139.99 which is a huge deal. I purchased one for my girlfriend and one for my parents as it has turn by turn speech in Korean. It's very innovative and when I purchased the unit, I was excited about the free life-time subscription to weather and traffic updates. Despite this, the traffic update wasn't so accurate as many reviewers has said. I've owned a Magellan previously and I must say, the Magellan gave a prompt sound when to take action. With this unit, it will tell you about half a mile to make a turn and when you have to make a turn it will repeat it again.
Additionally, this unit isn't so accurate when driving in Manhattan. I was trying to get to the Manhattan Bridge and I knew I was about 5 minutes away but instead of telling me to turn, it tells me to go somewhere else which took me 20 minutes. Another feature that is lacking with this unit is whether you want the fast route in regards to miles or the regular route. Typically, I like to take neighborhood roads as it is quicker to get to my house but this unit makes me take all major roads which is fine for first time drivers to the area but not so good when I want the quickest way home.
All in all, it's a pretty good unit. It loads quick and has more service than my prior units. I would definitely purchase this again if I had to choose again.
What's great about it: Price, easy set-up
What's not so great: Not really accurate, especially while driving in the city.
I would recommend this to a friend!

why do the tv show in less than full screen size
This is dependent on the TV station's feed. For example, on high definition, channel 2 and 4, which is CBS and NBC respectively, will broadcast in 1080p which would view in full screen opposed to channel 5 and 8 which is FOX and TBS respectively, would broadcast in 720p which would be viewable in widescreen. If needed, please change the zoom features on your HDTV but please be advised that the picture quality may look distorted.

Why are the 1080P only available on the larger TV's
It is because there is no need to have that many pixels on a small surface space. If you got a small TV with 1080p, it will look distorted. To get the best out of your small TV, you should purchase a 720p for TV's 32" or less.
