    Vincent, you took the words right out of my mouth. This is exactly how I thought this 21:9 system could possibly work. I must say you people have me REALLY intrigued by all this. Now I'm having visions of red velvet curtains working in conjuction with black side masking to ...... I'VE GOT TO...

    I assume that a 21:9 screen would have to be a front projection system. I believe I've read somewhere that a tube TV would be impossible with a ratio over 2:1 (would it perhaps implode?). In any case, for a front projection system a 21:9 set up would indeed help to perfectly recreate the...
