One of my biggest Pet Peeves with Video over the last 5 years is projecting 4:3 images onto a 16:9 Screen. It seems about 98% of the population does this.
They want to 'Show' the widescreen and don't mind stretching the faces to make it happen.
Every single Electronic Retailer I have walked into over the last 5 years insists on stretching the 4:3 Image to fill the Screen. Almost every house I have walked into does the same thing. Don't they know how to use the Zoom Feature?
