Besides you either can't see the difference or it looks better. Some people seem to think it has something to do with the picture being letterboxed, well it doesn't (although a 2.35:1 / 4:3 image is "more" letterboxed then a 2.35 / 16:9 image) see below!
Also, an 800 x 600 movie looks better on a 1024 x 876 projector than on a 800 x 600 projector.
Am I off topic???
