Hi, the local Circuit City had Star Wars Episode I
on a 42" Hitachi 16:9 widescreen flat panel display.
The film was being shown in widescreen format, and
it did not look cropped at all on the top or
bottom, but it also did not fill the whole screen-there was definitely a letterbox effect on the
top and bottom of the screen, despite it being a
16:9 screen.Can someone explain this? Wouldn't this be bad for
the display over time? The only time I've seen
16:9 widescreens filled, the picture looks vertically
stretched.
