I did a couple quick calculations comparing a
30" 16:9 screen w/ a 32" conventional (there are
2 Samsung Models that are priced identically in
these sizes).It looks like a 16:9 LetterBox image on a 32"
conventional screen will actually be almost the
same size the 16:9 image on a 30" Wide screen
w/in an inch or so. (the 30" wide screen
image size is 26.1" X 14.7" and the 32" 16:9
letterbox size is 25.6" X 14.4" ).So.... my question is, which is the better
purchase, and why? What should be my decision
criteria. W/ a CRT, are there substantial
burn-in issues w/ letterboxing either for
16:9 images on a conventional screen or 4:3
images on a Wide screen?Also, if my calcs are right, the 30" Wide
shows 4:3 images equivalent to a 24" diagonal
conventional TV.let's get the dialogue going ...
