Couple of things:

1. Are you able to control the TV with regard to 4:3 and 16:9 transmissions. Some of the TVs out there lock in the format based on the way the signal comes through the receiver and its out of your control or extremly cumbersome to change it to the way you want it (e.g., view 4:3 as 4:3 not stretched or panoramic).

2. I notice it will upconvert to 540p but not 720p. Do you think there is a downside to that or any benefit? I know most are only 420p and 1080i. Just curious.

3. Have you had any maintenance problems?

Where did you buy it?

Bose and Loewe have just teamed up and they are now available in the Bose Stores but otherwise pretty hard to find. Seems like the price is pretty well fixed at $5,500. Know of any place for less?

Thanks!
