Moved into a new apartment with a really cool roommate. Get along really well, have a ton in common, seems like a cool situation. Last night we were watching some TV and he stretched the image out of ratio to fit the screen... Ugh... That is going to be annoying.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck!

There's a guy on LDDB who does this with LDs on his 16:9 display and frequently posts images of his setup.

You should ask him: Would you vertically stretch a letterboxed video on a CRT TV to fill the screen?

Wait, don't. I don't want to know the answer and I'm pretty sure you don't want to know it either!

I've only known the guy for a few days, I might break it to him gently sometime. For now I'm not going to mention it.

That is unacceptable, either you need to throw him out, or you need to leave.

Sarcasm?

He's really laid back and pretty much exactly what I've been looking for in a roommate, so I think I can deal. It's been really hard for me to find decent people to live with here, he's very chill with me having certain things and doing certain things in the apartment that I couldn't even bring up with previous roommates. The rent split two ways is dirt cheap for such a nice place and location. Plus, he's got a freakin' badass cat! I like having a cat around, but don't want to have to have the worry of having one of my own; I spend too many nights away from home.

Just wish my bed didn't have holes in it... Patched up four already. Hopefully that is all of them. Can't tell if I still hear a slight hissing, or if I am just going crazy from listening for that noise for so many hours. If I am hearing it, I can't locate it for the life of me.
