In Reply to: Yep, check those aspect ratios. posted by Aroc on October 15, 2002 at 09:05:49:
Unless you have a front projector.16:9 is the agreed upon industry standard ratio, you will likely never see a consumer TV set wider than that. ("Native" refers to resolution, the vertical and horizontal scan lines, not aspect ratio. You know, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i.) It's a compromise between the various film OARs and the HD broadcast format. HD is 16:9 - 16:9 TVs are what we got.
1.85:1 isn't too bad on a 36" 4:3, but the he HUGE black bars with 2.35:1 on the 36" sets pushed me to a 34" WS. I like my WS a lot, and the very narrow bars displayed on 2.35 material don't bother me a bit.

when I do that I never notice the big black bars. But I did think long and hard about the 34inch 16:9 set. I hope you enjoy yours. :-)
