So, I have a JVC 28" widescreen tv set to auto switch between a widescreen signal and a panoramic (normal middle but edges stretched to fill the left and right) signal depending on the incoming signal. I have my xbox set to Widescreen. When I boot up the Xbox in 60hz, the dash is nice and widescreen but when i play a Widescreen game (PGR2, Burnout 2, Colin Macrae 4 etc) the TV auto switches back to Panoramic. However, if I set the Xbox to 50Hz then the TV switches to Widescreen when I play these games.
Does anyone know why that is? What difference does the 60hz signal make to widescreen/panoramic signal? And why does it work in 50Hz? I can still set my TV to Widescreen manually but it's just a pain having to flick through when it should do it automatically. So, does anyone know. Oh, and I also have to do it on my US cube for SC2 and FZeroGX widescreen modes as well (presumably because they are outputting 60hz signals).
