But I'm not talking about 4x3 movies (sorta). I'm talking about letterboxed (or animorphic) movies. I just like seeing the bars there on the top and bottom (not on the sides). Seeing the bars just makes me happy and reminds me that I'm watching in widescreen. As far as watching things that are not in any type of widescreen ratio (such as old movies and most TV shows- well more for me than for some since I never splurged on a HDTV box for my HDTV- isn't that silly that you have to buy a dumb box to watch in HDTV on an HDTV? Seems like buying a blender- only it doesn't actually blend unless you buy the blending attachment.) Anyway, which is pretty much pointless for me anyway- since for the most part TV, unlike movies is "throwaway" and I really could care less how it's presented. If I really want to watch the TV show proper, I'll buy the DVD box sets.
