Whoops! I was asking about the pics of either aspect, 1.85, 2.35:1 looking larger with the anamorphic DVD's on 16:9 digital sets. I didn't realize that the non-anamorphic pics had grey bars vertically on the screens, taking up some of the screen. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks!!
Wide-screen 19:9 -- [1.78:] Fills the entire wide-screen TV. If 1.85:1 it will leave a very small boarder and on a 4:3 TV either leaves a boarder but is acceptable for viewing If 2.35:1 [or scope] the wide-screen has to much boarder [is a sliver on most 4:3 TV] and is UN-acceptable Sure you can screw around with the aspect ratio but it usually results in time and likely a quality loss. I have found very few flicks in anamorphic , or a DVD or TV that are smart and would react to it and who wants to screw around with a movie that is bought or rented. Rental outfits mostly provide 2:35:1 or some fullscreen versions. Frankly I would rather watch a fullscreen than a 2.35:i I have films that are wide-screen 1.78:1 and are excellent on wide-screen and very good on a 4:3 TV. I have yet to find a flick, bought or rented that tells what the aspect ratio is. Many try to state that wide screen is anything over full-screen in aspect ratio If it says Wide-Screen I want it in 1.78:1--[1.85:1] OK --- 2.35:1 no way If it was in 2.35:1 I take it back and I don’t care if the box says wide-screen There is No Reason to provide these 2.35:1 movies for TV viewing on any TV, they belong in a cinema scope theater
