    Hello, i have had my first laptop- 6920g-934G32Bn(T9300 9500GS vista ultimate) for a couple of weeks now and i have a couple of issues.

    With my screen set@1920x1080 should the blue-ray demo disc playback without the bars top/bottom ??
    (a thread around here somewhere mentioned not many discs would display fullscreen but that may have applied to HD-toshiba rather than sony blueray ???)

    I have tried an original Pirates of the Caribbean-dead mans chest which says 1080p High Definition/16x9/2.35:1
    This also displays top/bottom black bars.

    I have not yet updated any graphic drivers out of the box,just all the windows updates and my bios is at the original V1.06

    Would really appreciate if any users of this model could let me know if they had or have the same experience and what i can/cant do about it.

    (perhaps its just me but i dont have access to another blue ray to test these discs as yet)

    !!Great site with good knowledge around,couldnt resist signing up any longer!!

    I think your problem might be that your res isn't 1920X1080 but 1920X1200 like mine. :)

    Just a thought though. ;)

    Well, it's 2,35:1, that's why. There is nothing wrong with your screen.

    Does your Nvidia control panel show 1920x1080 or does it actually read 1920x1200.

    Ive just reloaded my Pirates disc and watched the trailers that i missed before,some disney frames are full screen as is a chicken little sequence and a few others,the actual in film menu which is a skull on fire talking is fullscreen too but the actual film is with blackbars,forgive my inexperience perhaps its normal for some blueray titles to be like that but i thought the idea was to remove them.
    when it goes fullscreen it looks kin awesome.

    Thanks CQSTELUSH i think i was typing as you posted,if i was to look on a blueray box what numbers would i be looking at to find fullscreen if 2.35:1 isnt correct?

    16:9
    Mostly, you will find it on TV shows, TV series... and low budget or bad cropped blockbusters. In 2,35:1 you will find most of the "big" movies, so all you can do is to force it fullscreen, but with the loss of resolution.

    You're not gonna be seeing those "full-screen" until a computer manufacturer has the balls to put out a 2.35 aspect ratio notebook.
    ...anyone gonna bet it'll be Acer again?
