View Single Post - If you play a game in wide screen, will you see more like on a wide screen TV?

If you try to watch a widescreen movie on a full screen, you will still see the same picture, it wont be any wider. However on a full screen monitor, it has to shrink it to fit on the TV, so you will have much larger black areas on the top and bottom. But you still dont see anything less then on a widescreen monitor.

In terms of games, i'm really not sure, but i'm interested in finding out.
