Re: Actually...

Why 2.35:1 (or wider) vs. 1.85:1? A wider image has more visual impact.

If you compare the typical humans field of view for image width vs image height, the width has much more range.

Your specific complaint about TPM is a preference and Lucas' preference doesn't align with yours.

You could get a DVD player such as the Panasonic RP-91 (or many others) others with scaling/zoom to expand the image to fit a 16:9 screen and get a similar effect to taken the 2.35:1 OAR into a 1.85:1 or 1.78:1.
