Banjo didn't say that to make you look stupid..maybe there's someone else who can read this thread and would finally understand what a WideScreen means. That is why everyone else has capabilities to learn.
Exactly, 2 years ago.... most people didn't know what widescreen meant.
Seriously!
Just ask the folks at any video rental stores, they get a lot of complaints about the black bars.
For example... Ballbusters... I meant Blockbuster. They tried to change their whole DVD library to full-frame formats before because of the countless complaints.
Customers can be so uneducated on movie formats these days.
But they were hit with THOUSANDS of hate mails from people who prefer the widescreen formats. Now, they are going both formats today
But I still think we should stick to the widescreen because it is the correct way of viewing the movies.
Even some TV shows are in widescreen today including Malcolm in the Middle, ER, Jay Leno and more.
I meant, why are we buying 16x9 TVs?
It's going to be the standard (mainstreamed) TV pretty soon since a lot of people are buying them.
GoldenLeaf, I wasn't trying to insult you or anything. I was just trying to keep it simple.
But since you are aware of the meaning, myself...
I prefer to watch movies in widescreen because it is showing us the whole picture most of the time.
With a Full-Frame movie, you are missing half the picture.
Believe it or not.
I can't help it if I'm artistic and prefer to get the most out of movies.
Widescreen, I'll always stick to it.
