wow! that's surprising, i love widescreen because any movie you buy that's in full screen mode has to be cut on both sides to make i fit on a full screen TV, yet widescreen only has the black bars so either way widescreen wins...if you can deal with the bars[-0MEGA-] said:I think widescreen is the absolute worst thing ever created. If I could, I would get every movie in full screen, since with widescreen you're loosing alot of available screen space on either you're TV or PC. Some formats are worse then others, and only use about half the height of a standard TV.
If you use a widescreen TV for full screen movies/television, it will stretch it and make it look distorted.

that's why widescreen TVs where invented either way the widescreen camp wins because you never lose picture on a widescreen and if your TVs widescreen you see no bars, while if you use full screen you ALWAYS loose the picture even on full screen TVs but i guess its up to preference[-0MEGA-] said:I know you loose some of the picture, it's basically the same as using the zoom feature on the DVD player. But if you have 4:3 monitors and TV's, you really get annoyed with only using about 1/2-3/4 of your available monitor/tv space, and it's harder to see from far away.
Not all widescreen movies are the same aspect ratio.lethalforce said:that's why widescreen TVs where invented either way the widescreen camp wins because you never lose picture on a widescreen and if your TVs widescreen you see no bars, while if you use full screen you ALWAYS loose the picture even on full screen TVs but i guess its up to preference![]()

With some movies, a widescreen TV makes them look great, but on others it still has black lines above and below the movie. Not to mention when you want a full screen movie or most television shows, the picture is either stretched or you have black lines on the left and right.
