Screen Fit Grayed Out Why Won't It Let Me Choose Screen Fit?

I have HD and use an HDMI cable (obviously) but screen fit is always grayed out. How do you get it to make that option available?

the picture is poor when an external device is connected to the TV, check if Game Mode is On.

 

Size

Occasionally, you may want to change the size of the image on your screen. Your TV comes with six screen size options, each designed to work best with specific types of video input. Your satellite receiver may have its own set of screen sizes as well. In general, though, you should view the TV in 16:9 mode as much as possible.

16:9: Sets the picture to the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Zoom1: Stretches the 16:9 aspect ratio picture vertically.

Zoom2: Stretches the Zoom 1 picture vertically.

Wide Fit: Stretches the picture both horizontally and vertically to display the optimal picture.

4:3: Sets the picture to the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Screen Fit: Displays the full native HD signal that cannot be viewed using a normal TV.

Alternately, you can press the P.SIZE button on the remote control repeatedly to change the picture size.

 

Temporary image retention may occur when viewing a static image on the set for more than two hours.

After selecting Zoom1, Zoom2 or Wide Fit: Press the `68; or `58; button to select Position, then press the ENTER button. Press the `50; or `60; button to move the picture up and down .Reset: Press the `68; or `58; button to select Reset, then press the ENTER button. You can initialize the setting.

After selecting Screen Fit in HDMI (1080i/1080p) or Component (1080i/1080p) mode, you made need to center the picture: Press the `68; or `58; button to select Position, then press the ENTERE button. Press the `50;, `60;, `68; or `58;button to move the picture.Reset: Press the `68; or `58; button to select Reset, then press the ENTERE button. The TV will be reset to 16:9.

HD (High Definition): 16:9 - 1080i/1080p (1920x1080), 720p (1280x720)

Settings can be adjusted and stored for each external device you have connected to an input of the TV.In PC Mode, only 16:9and 4:3mode can be adjusted.

Settings can be adjusted and stored for each external device you have connected to an input of the TV. If all fails to fix your problem, go to picture settings menu> advanced settings & reset to default below:

Picture Reset → Reset Picture Mode / Cancel

Resets all picture settings to the default values.

Select a picture mode to be reset. The reset is performed for each picture mode
