Totevision monitor issues

[Avenger007]

I just received my Totevision and noticed that the aspect ratio seems to be off. It looks slightly stretched and is clearly not 16:9. When I try to hit the aspect ratio button (4:3/16:9) it doesn't do anything. Any suggestions?

If you're using component inputs (as opposed to composite) the aspect ratio button doesn't do anything (just like you can't use blue gun with component). As for slightly stretched, the Totevision and the Ikan are both 16:10, I think this is standard for a lot of the lower priced monitors.

The button issue is annoying, I touched on it in my review of the monitor:

But even with that and 16:10 image you should still be able to get great focus and a really nice image to play around with. I think it's a great little monitor.

Shouldn't that be advertised? The description from the company states 16:9 specifically. That is false advertising from my understanding.
