Got a dvd for x-mas and have finally, I think, sorted out the basic understanding of ratios....
Am i correct that in general....:
One would want a 16:9 widescreen if DVD watching is first priority
One would want a 4:3 tv if regular tv watching is priority....
& when one watches cable tv broadcasts on a widescreen *it is not full screen*(i.e. it will have either bars or something
(and is this for everything that is broadcast?)Hey....I need to obsess about *something* while my CDP gets repaired!
thanks!
