Sony Android TV - Aspect ratio issue while streaming Netflix and Youtube

by Erikthered00

Hi all,

I have a KDL43W800C, great TV. Recently, possibly since the latest update, Netflix and YouTube have been playing in an incorrect aspect ratio. Not 4:3 vs 16:9, but rather a weird one where there's a subtle vertical stretch through the middle of the image. I'm watching 16:9 content.

This is particularly noticeable when the camera is panning, and so it appears as though the image is stretched at the edges of the frame and not the centre, giving a fishbowl look when panning. closest thing i could google (non-linear aspect ratio), and a diagram i made

When watching TV it's fine. When watching DLNA sources, it's fine. Aspect ratio controls are not available while youtube and netflix are running.

Any ideas?

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with your issue but i'm thinking about buying this tv. How is it? Recommend it?
