Speaking about projectors, I got an Infocus, albeit the smaller model (a DLP350). It has a great line doubler, and it does anamorphic video nicely, although I rarely use those functions since I use an HTPC as a video source (and it looks simply gorgeous when used that way). I don't like the...

Point taken. But in non - HT equipped homes, the vast majority of shelf spaces will be sized for a 4:3 TV. If buying a widescreen TV, you'll end up with a smaller 4:3 image. I solved the issue by buying a DLP projector. That way I can get a 100" diagonal 4:3 image and a decent enough...

Yuo are very wrong, Doug. I know exactly what anamorphic does. But you can go ahead and wrestle a crocodile. :D Vince knew exactly what I'm talking about. Read his post. That's exactly what I was thinking about. Think widescreen. Now think widescreen with added content and resolution on the...

Vince: THANKS!!!!! My entire posts can be summed up in your one paragraph sentence :) :emoji_thumbsup:

Hmmm... my point is *still* not getting across :) OK Lew, imagine the football transmission in widescreen. Now imagine it with added content on top and on the bottom. That's what I'm talking about. Forget about the IMAX analogies, et al - it's hard enough to try to be understood in a language...

Ok, here it goes again: The whole idea of my post is that it is esentially wrong for us to have widescreen TVs in our houses when HDTV is a reality. Instead of settling for less of an image (say, 1.78:1), we might want to stick with the 4:3 format, and use the extra resolution for added...

First of all, NO. I am an enemy of non letterboxed editions of movies and films. I don't buy them. I recently returned my R4 edition of Monsters, Inc., because it was Pan and Scan. Or so I thought. And so the story goes. When I bought the R1, I realized the entire movie had been...
