I think it's been stated already that doing a 'zoom-out' will degrade
quality. (Pixels have to be dropped)

Please bear in mind that you *can* change the overscan on your Sony - you
need to access the service menu. Do a google search - just be careful as
you can lose the picture if you fiddle with the wrong settings! There was a
good website that had a step-by-step guide to adjusting the Sony's.
