Still today In the movie exhibition industry Widescreen is used as a reference for the 1.85:1 aspect ratio and Scope is a reference for 2.35:1 ratio. Something's just don't change and this reference is used for format identifications of digital presentations.Keith Cobby said:Gentlemen, you can tell me I'm wrong but what I meant by 'proper' widescreen is that it isn't 1.85 or 2.35, 2.55, 2.76 etc. I do not think of 1.66 as widescreen - just a personal view!
