Yes, on a computer, you would have four black bars... well, assuming it's a wide screen, like mine is. That would render it quite tiny on my computer (which is what I primarily use for watching TV and movies when I'm at school).


Some software DVD players have a zoom function that allows you to get rid of the vertical black bars. The Apple DVD Player on Mac OS X (10.4), for example...
Who has widescreen computer monitors anyway? Movies will look better on TV's then on monitors.


People that use Apple computers? Apple monitors and Apple notebooks screens are all widescreens (the aspect ratio is 16:10, on all models).

As to movies looking better on a TV than a monitor, I don't see why there should be a difference.
