If you have a modern wide-screen TV, what do you set it to when watching old films?I'll be brutally honest - I can't stand the gray side bars, so I always stretch... guilty...
When I had my older 4:3 projector that was not an issue, and on that large 100" screen old B&W films looked marvelous, but since then all my screens are wide, so each time I sigh and then stretch.
