Well, SW would still be 2.35:1 regardless. What makes the real difference is the resolution of the source material. If it's a low-resolution source (i.e. VHS), then you are better off watching it on a 4x3 TV. A high-resolution source like DVD would look great on a 16x9 screen. LD is closer to DVD, but the SW discs aren't without their flaws, and blowing up the image makes them even more pronounced. After having removed the dots and speckles from the first third of ANH (frame by frame), I almost can't watch the bootlegs anymore without these defects jumping out at me.

Maybe I'll make a Wookie-groomer type video, so you can see all the blemishes, as well as the tremendous improvement that can be achieved with the right software.
