my display is TH42PHD6UY and the DVD is Sony DVP-S530D. i do get no sidebars when displaying in Full or Justified modes but i was curious why it doesnt display it that way in Normal mode.
1) i am going to try expatbrit's suggestion and
2) as i said, it may just be the 720i+ input signal that may be required (that will be avalable only off a HD source).
