Thanks. Just reported it.

I had thought you wanted us to report it here in this thread and on that page because that page doesn't really let you say more specifically what the problem is. It just lets you check mark stuff.

However, I'm not updating it as there is a way to notify. Also, you may want to call CS with your suggestions. I've done that numerous times.

Pusher

Problem: Bottom 50% of subtitles are cut off, making it burdensome to read. Problem exists when playing the movie on my LG BD-390 player (seems to be based off Roku player); when I play on the net, full image is visible. The only way to get the full image to appear on my system is to set the resolution on the player's menu to 480p, choose 4x3 (letterbox) mode, then there is enough space above & below to see the image.

I measured the image, and the problem appears to be that the aspect ratio of the movie is 16x9.67, so the .67 is being trimmed off the top & bottom of the picture; the scalar on the player needs to expand the image such that there will be some black bars on the left & right in order to preserve all the vertical image.

Welcome to the group!

Have you contacted Netflix about this? Do you know how to notify netflix about titles that you've recently watched/rented?

Reply to This

The title Google Me freezes at the 20:25 frame. I tested on both Roku and computer streams. It hits that frame and jumps back to the main menu.

Have you contacted NF by reporting the problem?

Reply to This

yes, and interestingly, I received the typical quality check survey that I always receive after FINISHING an IW title... even though it never finished. I indicated the problem there as well.
