I AlWAYS watch laserdiscs and DVDs in their original film correct aspect ratio (I know, not eactly attainable with 2.35 and 1.85 films on a 1.78 wide screen display but you know what I mean). I HATE the one stretch mode on my (ISF calibrated) SONY 51" RPTV. For 4.3 films on LD and DVD I use the "Normal" mode, for non-anamorphic wide screen films I use the "Zoom" mode, and for anamorphic wide sreen films I use the "Full" mode. The only tme I cheat is during a cable pan and scan broadcast of a film originally shot in wide screen. There I use the "Zoom" mode, preferring the cut off heads to the "I've got blinders on" effect of pan and scan.
