On the remote their is a star button just above the forward one and go to picture size and you can change to stretch works good for older movies and direct for everything else .Tcl has a manual online it is very informative at Tcl.com pick model and download pdf.This has very good settings and only knew of by looking at manual.You can also pause live tv for 90minutes if you put 32 gb flash drive in usb port on side.I picked the 3.0 version.Hope this helps.
