It does appear to be the case, my big beef is that the 4:3 switch for my
DVD player is a 4 way toggle and it is the last option, so you keep
having to go through them to get to that one..
I have just phoned Samsung again, and they claim they will phone me back
tomorrow, but they assure me, there is a technical fix for the HDMI
message problem. I will report back if it's anything other than keep
turning the messages off each time you use it...
