...requires no changing of anything to project in the correct AR. Panavision-, 1.85-, and 1.78-AR movies all fill the image width, and 1.33s definitely have vertical black bars left and right.
BTW I recently bought a Panavision-AR screen that's 96" wide instead of my 16:9 screen's 80" width. When projecting high-AR movies, I manually zoom the lens to fill the width. Since my projector is in a bookcase directly behind the couch, it's quite easy to do that.
Viewing angle is now 42.4 degrees at my 10-1/4' viewing distance, about as wide as I'd like to look at; pixels are NOT visible at that angle, and the wide-ratio movies look excellent.
