I've got DVDs which say "wide screen" on the packaging, but which deliver a 2.35:1 aspect ratio film in letterbox format for a 4:3 screen."Wide screen" refers to the film aspect ratio in much packaging. It does not necessarily mean that the DVD has been mastered for a 16:9 screen format, so it can't be taken as any indication that the film will display correctly at full screen width on a wide screen TV. You need to look for a statement that the disc will play correctly on a 16:9 screen or that it has been anamorphically mastered.
