The SD picture quality wasn't as good as my Panasonic CRT (in the 3rd picture), and i live in quite a high signal area, usually around 90-95% signal strength. Like you said, it was pretty blocky, so i didn't bother replacing it for everyday TV viewing with my Panasonic.

Not sure about this SMART mode you're talking about. I only hooked it up to the main aerial for half an hour or so, but i didn't see any black borders or anything, it filled the whole screen up with picture.
